Sarcasticpasti.........You love your job you say..........Who do you think got you the work rules.........Management sure the hell didnt just hand them over to you because they thought you deserved them!

 

not a salient point

 

sarcastic,

As a active DAL captain, I do not have the time, energy, or desire to worry about your sorry a**. Get a real flying job.

Thanks to all who support us, you must fly real airplanes.

You guys fly real planes with fantasy pay scales I guess.

I think you need to take a look at what a union did for history 20 years ago in Eastern Europe to the Iron Curtain. You call people names and have not a clue.
There is a spot for you in the CoolAid drinkers line but I think you would do well portioning it out.
Your regional job exists because of Airlines like Delta.
Take your attitude and all your certificates and go to the nearest library and do some research.

 

Universally in the industry today I think we are in a battle between the "haves" (Legacy) and the "Have Nots" (LCC and Regionals). In past generations everyone expected to make it to the legacy carriers someday therefore they had more solidarity. Now most realize that they will not. The results are that the "Have Nots" are willing to undercut the Legacy guys in order to secure their own piece of the pie. It is difficult for a person who has already topped out as a regional Captain to feel any sympathy for a Delta Captain who is probably earning three times the salary.

Union of One

 

That’s the 1st place I looked. Also checked LGG/FLL too and:

Their lowest fare is $200+ more than DAL and DAL has a ‘direct’ flight where you don’t have to change planes in DFW or ATL.

I told you I was the typical cheap airline captain, no? It’s in the DNA

 

That sums up Skyhigh's position..............Oneway


He doesn't seem to realize that if the Majors' contracts and salaries go down
Regional Salaries and benefits go down.............................................

 

So you have no plans to step up to a major if offered a job? I doubt that very much. The Major jobs will always be out there as people will always have to retire.

The short-sightedness of yours and that idiot sarcastic are amazing. I'd be willing to bet you'd jump at a job in the big leagues. I never aspired to work for peanuts in some cramped RJ for the rest of my career. I'd have walked away from the job if that's as far as I got.

I'm here at the majors and have every right to defend what I've earned even if it means sarcastic loses his commuter job.

I completely support the Delta & NWA Professional Aviators as they're fellow Pilots who deserve nothing less than that.

Shame on all you opportunists who only wonder "what's in it for me". A healthy career with a top-notch contract awaits you if you only had the gonads to look beyond the glareshield of your Embraer.

 

This is not a very professional comment. "Fly real airplanes"? I suppose all regional guys fly fantasy airplanes.
