I think that regional MECs should collaborate on a collective clause that preserves longevity when pilots move from airline to airline.

The silence here is damning, I get it, but if you can get out and want to, do so. Lots of us can’t/won’t move to another regional and the ULCC stuff isn’t where we want to make a career.
Hold on tight. The next few months might just surprise you.

I get my intel from multiple fiends at SkyWest. I also talk to Skywest crews as I travel around the country riding on SkyWest planes. I know you're spread thin on crews. Every regional is thin on crews.
Any chance I get to poke Chip in the eye I'll take it.

...and you base this speculation on what, prey tell? Because, from the window of a regular line pilot, we're at min fuel and all airports are socked in for hundreds of miles. So if you have something more substantial than general feel goods, I'm all ears.

Have you ever checked out their pilot recruiting page? They week after week after week post class photos. Just kinda eyeballing it looks about 40-50 or so in each class. And that’s for the CRJ. Erj usually has about 15-25. On paper those numbers might be down from the 60 that were in class a few years ago but the amount of people still going through their program is mind boggling. I don’t see any issues they might face.
