Not sure where you are coming up with this. Yes there are some folks at the regionals who went from high school to airline...but the vast majority of regional pilots (myself included) that I know and have flown with are college graduates trying to make it to a major.

I dont think this is just a regional thing. Look at how the East and West pilots of US Airways are treating each other. Ive seen the term scab thrown out on more than one occasion here on these boards. Its ugly over there!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, must be easy to call such things "High school" like and childish when those scumbags aren't taking money out of YOUR pocket or food out of YOUR kids' mouths...

Yeah just like those scumbags......
I would aslo bet that you feel the same way because it is just like TSA taking flying away from Eagle.

Yeah, except Gojets was created specifically to avoid negotiating with the TSA pilot group. It's an alter-ego airline owned by the same person that owns TSA and is being used against TSA pilots. Whereas the TSA/Eagle thing was a transfer of flying worked out between the managements of two separate companies. Not even close to the same thing, sorry...

I don't know why I really care about this topic other than it chaps my A** seing pilots treat fellow pilots this way but....... Again there wasn't an avoidance of negotiation ALPA refused I think three times. In some aspect I can see an alter ego airline but still after what actually happend verses what some TSA or Go Jet guy says.... I guess than it is like american and eagle two separate companies owned by one company......

What ALPA refused was to fly 70 seat jets at 50 seat rates.

Yeah right. Perhaps in your own mind it's not even close to the same thing. You can tell that to yourself all you want if it helps you to sleep better at night.

For a reality check, I'd suggest requesting a jumpseat on Eagle, or perhaps chatting with an Eagle crew next time you're in RDU or wherever, and I'm sure you'll be welcome.

Yeah, sure.

Never had a problem on Eagle. Ever.
