For those of us who have been for a long time, ross hits it on the head. There is no reason for the crew to get their blood pressure elevated because people not under our command and who don't answer to us are incompetent. I just let the system work and enter the proper delay code. now if it's my crew, yes, I prod them to get their stuff done and get the door closed ASAP so I can drop the brake on time. But I refuse to be one of those guys who stomps up to the gate, yells at the gate agent, then stomps down to the ramp, yells at the rampers, then throws bags 6 times a day.

-Eagle and Republic are offering 10K to join.
-Eagle rep was at a Expressjet new hire hotel offering 1K to jump ship.
So whats the deal out there from the regional angle on hiring and the future of these regionals to find qualified crew after August 2?
I mean really, 150K at Riddle to make 20K the first year after you get 1500 hours somehow. Who wouldn't jump at that?
