Laughable. Enjoy our ratty, beat to hell ERJs. Trust me, there's nothing shiny about these things. They're sure as hell not worth the stigma you'll have of being a PSA version 2.0 bottom feeder...

I'll flow to American and nobody will care. Just like the 2 mainline guys I got in the van with. 2 former GoJets.

To some people none of this matters until the regional they work for gets affected. What happens when your airline gets undercut by a bottom feeder and is no longer "competitive"?

So your argumentatively agreeing with me. Smooth.

Can someone please clarify what the true cost of the pilots are when a "bottom feeder" versus an Envoy type company compete? I can't believe that an entire contract servicing a major would come down to the flight crew.

Weak argument.
My post was an observation, not an argument.

Weak comprehension skills...

Yup. I actually agree with your point. My comments were channeled to others through your post. Lately, I tend to believe PDT's best days are ahead...just a gut feeling...we shall see.
