Yeah, but the new guys also don't get to experience a dozen or so 18-day-off day trip lines, pages of 2-day back-to-backs and 3 day trips, and rarely if ever getting junior-manned.

It's hilarious how the decades-old holier-than-thou attitude of some of the CRJ guys just transferred to some of the 175 pilots. You still fly for a regional. Superior is relative.

Question for you guys/gals at Envoy. Unless I was seeing things, it looks like you will be bringing some 175's into TYS next month. Is that just a seasonal thing or will it be a regular thing? I believe it was for the TYS-DFW flight.

Now? Brake set...hit HI3 on mobile CCI. Nothing there...done. Go home. Beautiful.
How do you check HI3 on mobile CCI? Mine only gives the option for HI6.

Click on any flight, doesn't matter which one. Then go to pre flight documents and it's one of the options.

Irrelevant. That doesn't change or mean anything when staffing for captains is so out of proportion to the demand. All it did is alleviated the reserve pilot to talk to someone. If they find something for you to do, you'll get it regardless of vocal communication or just posting an HI6 about it. Nothing "massive" about it.

Come tell me "massive improvements" when I don't have three JMs assigned to me when scheduling knows I can't do the first. Tell me when they really care about safety, instead of just blatantly giving you a MA because you got shook up from an emergency and had to remove yourself from duty. Tell me when they will stop shorting you on fuel. (Ran into this situation multiple times already this year alone) I'm not the only one here noticing the "best regional in the country" pitch. You still try to spin it and deny the real problems in place. I think you and Dacuj are of the same, or either golf buddies.

Might wanna pay attention, you'll be a reserve captain on the 145 in no time.
