Come on! It's Michael Boyd!

Same guy a few years ago who was calling the RJs a "revolution" in aviation, and how 1 in 6 jets in the future will be an RJ.

Gas prices go up, RJs start to lose money, and he quickly comes out with a "revised" opinion.

It's Boyd... he makes the calls as he sees the situation.

It's not like he's a saint of aviation. Nothing he ever says is complete surprise... it's all known to us already.

Maybe maybe not. Does every resident become a doctor? Not sure, maybe some leave medicine. Does every clerk become a judge? Probably not, but some may. Others may become a prosecuting attorney and make little compared to a defense attorney who makes more.

Either way it is the same thing. Some pilots will make big bucks flying freight or for mainline. Others will "settle" for regional or corporate and make less. But for doing what you want to do (fly airplanes), 80K a year is not the end of the world.

I don't recall anyone guaranteeing me a 300K job when I started working on my private - like everything else, it is a crapshoot.:D

this article was written by mainline union leaders. it is bull$hit. The "regionals" are here to stay and will continue to grow. They mentioned tightend scope clauses at usair......lol, i was laughing so hard i choked. what kind of propaganda was this? lol:rolleyes:

Yeah right, Boyd is correct like every 1 out of 10. I mean, obviously all the Legacys are focusing on expanding their domestic flying:rolleyes: and not their international so I guess us "Leasing Comapanies" pilots are all screwed. The regionals going away is about as likely as having honest CEOs and management groups that don't pad their own wallets at the expense of their employees.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
