The old timers that knowingly went to the regionals when it was the worst of the worst WERE the problems. You only showed regional management that you could be bought for a cheap price and so you were.
Stop complaining about how good new pilots have it now when you were willing to work for cheap with terrible work rules. If it was that bad you should have gone 135, military, or something outside of the aviation industry. Otherwise shut up and accept that you sold your skills for a lesser price than others.

Compass, Trans States, Comair, ASA, ACA, Expressjet… those guys don’t exist.
