You and your generation created this economic environment when you ****ed away scope protection.
Expecting an entire generation of pilots to give up their aspirations to fix your mistakes is foolish. It will not happen no matter how much you whine and pound your fists on the table.
The ONLY way this gets fixed is if you buy back scope. But that might cost you, so you'd rather blame the generation that had nothing to do with relaxing scope in the first place.

I find it absurd that some mainline pilots put forth so much effort at demonizing regional pilots for taking jobs that in actuality comprise the majority of the domestic airline industry. It is just plain stupid to think such a large demographic would rise up in unity and not accept these jobs as a matter of principle to try and return to the glory days of the industry. I hate what has become of the industry and mainline pilots (or their representatives) are soley responsible for allowing the outsourcing.
YOU Mr. Mainline 747 captain (and your reps) made mainline pilot jobs unattainable. Putting so much effort into blaming regional pilots just shows the elitist selfish nature that got us all in the situation in the first place.
