The mess we created? You're telling me the contracts that YOU negotiated are the mess we created? I didn't let regional companies start flying regional JETS painted in mainline colors because I was too much of a tough guy to fly a "little plane". And as for letting my feet do the talking, do you have a better way of getting Turbine PIC in a 121 environment? Cuz I don't. I can't get to "your" company unless I put up with the BS "you" created at this level. All the mainline guys did was outsource our future jobs at that level so they could hold on to their pay rates and then look down on us for trying to get up to that level. Thanks *******************(figure that one out). And that's the other problem with your generation, they shift blame to everyone but themselves. When I screw up, I admit it and correct it. Not you guys...it's just our fault for being here. Get over yourself.
Well said!!! And to bring up a quote from a few pages ago about only FO's posting on this...here is a Capt.

I just don't get it..........Do GoJetter's (former and current) think they can rationalize with other legit regional crews? It's like a crack addict saying they can stop anytime they want. Only they believe what they are saying. No one else believes them? I just don't understand their thought process. Am I missing something

who cares if somebody works at gojets? i don't. hey... times is hard -
get work where you can get it. the majority of regional guys are 20 somethings with no family to support and few priorities:
1) being impressed with themselves.
2) fitting in with the status quo.
stand up and think for yourselves. this "brotherhood of pilots" is BS.
how many of you are willing to quit working to help out your "brother"
ya right...keep telling yourself that.
the way i see it all these regionals doing mainline flying is no different.
rationalize it any way you want.
the bar is NEVER going back up at regionals. i would be embarrassed to be 50-100 grand in debt for a job making 20 grand and away from home half the time w/ a good chance of losing that same job. unions are outdated and don't work anymore, unless you work at a profitable company...then you'll see unity. if you work for a borderline co. that might tank....no one cares. no one has a vested interest.
i used to dismiss skyhigh's ravings but there is a lot of truth to his postings.

Yea you're right ankflygy, let everyman be for themselves and stab your neighbor in the back. I'm sure that's the best way to the top and the way to gain what we as pilots need. If it wasn't for your union, if you're a pilot that is, then you'd be begging for time off and would need permission to go home, douche..
