That said, I've never worked at another regional, but I don't know anyone here who thinks we're somehow better than any other carrier (except in obvious areas like pay, as compared to Mesa for example)...

If you had ever flown for a bottom feeder you would have an entirely different perspective. I just made a long list of things I've seen but erased it, nobody wants anyone coming after them.

Can't agree more. Flying into icing with no anti-ice is always a good reminder why I left 135 and NEVER looked back.

This was the deciding moment for me at my last job to go to 121.

I've had it plenty of times with deferred anti ice trying to dodge "unknown" icing at my regional. It is Hulas run though.

I hear Mesa is hiring

Hands down Great Lakes. Awesome experience and decent pay. Could be better but we all got to "pay our dues".

mesa's the only answer.
