Maybe they should just leave Ava on so guys don’t make other plans when they can’t pick some up.

Yeah. You nailed it on the head (not cranium). What color was your ascot?

FWIW. Every new regional guy I’ve flown with has been great to fly and hang out with...when you can grab food and drinks on a layover.

I'm going to state the obvious here... Making unfounded generalizations and attacking your own pilot group as we approach negotiations is an unwise strategy.

I'm a former regional guy, and spent over 10+ years working numerous crappy aviation jobs. The last thing I ever want to see at what I hope is my final airline is a crappy contract. I really like it here, I Iike the people here, and I'm looking forward to us developing an industry leading contract.

Wow Mav, we really don't need that type of attitude here.

Saving for negotiations haha. History doesn’t support this. Once it’s on most can’t turn it off. I sure hope I’m wrong but, I bet I’m not. Tell me how my prediction was in 2 years.

And this is coming from a guy who bragged about his $320k+ pay in his third year. I agree with you 100%. Once people get addicted, it's hard to break the habit.

Even the OP of this thread has picked up extra pairings and not protected min days off. It's easy to tell others what to do.

All regional pilots here are union pilots with the exception of just one regional. Each of those regionals Union dealt with the reality of their specific airline in order to maximize their opportunities or minimize their misfortunes. In other words, they chose to use the tools available to them to do the best they can considering the circumstances. The fact that some worked for a crooked CEO or under bad economic circumstances, doesn’t mean anyone was trying to race to the bottom.

Hey 2dogs,

You sound like a really great guy. I hope I’m fortunate enough to have the privilege to fly with you some day.
