I heard about this from a few friends of mine who are ATL CRJ FOs. The general consensus among those I personally know is that they'd rather leave the industry or go to a WO than sell their souls to those rats in SGU.

That's what I've been hearing as well. Inc has ****ed off so many people here that they'd rather start over just about anywhere else but Skyw. I personally know 1 guy hired at Envoy, 1 interviewed today, and 2 with upcoming interviews. Buddy also told me he knows 12 guys that were just hired at Endeavor. So it's basically anywhere to get away from Inc.

Good for them. I'm happy to see integrity still alive and well within our ranks.

Yes, that was seven years ago. They rolled over on that one.

Here's to burning any regional down to the ground. They all need to go the way of the dinosaur.

Regionals are a total scam. Once the job becomes decent, you will get underbid.

It's a B scale which continually gets downgraded to a C scale.

I know that sounds crappy, but it's true. No regional worth working at has survived long enough for many people to make a career there.

Nor should it. Regionals were never meant to be career destinations.
