Outsider here. I'm honestly so glad I turned down my interview offer at F9. An airbus type and "mainline" flying isn't worth the level of incompetence, contempt, arrogance, and mindless greed of this management. I'm also better off financially living in base as a regional FO than I would be commuting to reserve for $39/hr. I simply can't afford it. I'm also so glad that my one friend there was able to move on to a legacy.

Geezus, that's the dumbest and most short-sighted thing I've read on here in a while...

I honestly don't understand why people are beating up on this post. It makes complete sense to me, and I agree wholeheartedly.

This place is better than bidding #1 as an FO at ANY regional. Saying otherwise makes you completely ignorant to how regionals operate or a complete idiot.

Plus, regional airline lifers are major airline CEO's wet-dreams.

This very well may be true. However, if you put your ego aside, you might see it as a good thing for F9 pilots to have regional guys voice that they value themselves enough to pass on joining the bottom ranks of F9 in its current form. The more people that do pass up F9 and the harder it is to staff the growth of the airline, the less your management can deny the fact they need to catch up to the rest of the industry.

It makes total sense to me for regional guys that are comfortable in their current situation to pass on F9 while waiting until the airline with the compensation package, QOL etc. that suits their needs calls. It just might be F9 when your management finally wakes up and you guys get the contract you deserve.

Don’t take it so personally is all I’m trying to say
