What's happened at the regionals is a disgrace and I get an evil grin every time I hear about one of them having to cancel flights due to a shortage of pilots. It's self-induced. Hopefully NAI and their ilk will have to do the same.

Now we finally have the good jobs back at the legacies and yet some of you continue to make excuses for not defending those jobs aggressively. Seriously, w-t-f is wrong with some of your lines of reasoning?!
Even IF you don't find yourself at one of those legacy jobs, they help lift the entire piloting profession up. Think about it.

Seen that movie before though.....and the Guppy killer stickers on the flight bags back in the day. Showed how much the employed regional guy cared about the newly unemployed mainline guy. It cuts both ways.
