How much is your dignity and self respect worth? A quick upgrade? At the end of your life, can you can look at your past and remember how you were an industry pariah to get ahead?

I could go/have gone to GJ and gotten a quick street captain upgrade, but I'd rather find a new career if I can't look at myself in the mirror when I leave the hotel every morning.

But you could look at yourself in the mirror when you made $20.73/hr, $24.39/hr, and $30.09/hr for your first 3 years respectively as a Pinnacle CRJ FO? Make no mistake, many came to Pinnalce for the quick upgrade and justified the low FO wage (the lowest in the country at that time for a CRJ operator) because they would upgrade quickly at the 2 year mark.

You've got issues if you care that much about what other people think of you or if you take any job that seriously.

Its called self respect.... Seems like you'd be quick to take a job at the detriment of others...

Can't speak to wages back then, but I know the wages are very competitive with other RJ carriers now.

Sounds like you would fit in real well over at GoJets. Have you applied yet?

Or would you, if Eagle gives you the f notice and Skywest doesn't take you?

Anyone that takes a job at a regional making poverty wages has hurt the industry. We all should take a look in the mirror before we polish our belt buckle and boast about how "my regional is better than your regional".

It's not that my regional is better, it's just that yours sucks the hardest. Golfball through a garden hose kind of suck.

They'll at least be on my list.

Really?? Well how is your regional working out for you ol' wise one?? Thought so.

Anyone that has worked at TSA and has the nuts to say another regional is worse than theirs is senile at best. I bet they are lining up to go to work over there. Here we go again.
