Says they're passengers. Maybe they are.

Doesn't cost much to set up a web site.

Beech 1900s weren't good enough because they're too small. Then Q 400s weren't good enough because they want to fly on a jet. Now this. They'll never be happy. What do they want? Daily 773 service going into some small airport?

They are a little late to the party. 10 years ago, this may have been relevant, but ever since buffalo, the public is aware of regional airlines. Also, the trend has been to take back scope. There are less frames at the regionals today than a decade ago.

And 65 regional carriers? Please. List half of them.

20 years too late. I'm going to start a website: "Why we shouldn't have to pay for 300 channels if we only watch 5."

Catchphrase, "Why big corporations force you to watch 25 sports channels on your hotel TV."

LOLOL it’s hard to say “the public is aware of regional airlines.” Yeah sure it’s written in fine print now on the boarding passes and booking sites, but many infrequent flyers don’t read those or have any idea what that means. They still see “DELTA” in massive letters on the side of the plane. We are also specifically told when making announcements, NOT to say “operated by XYZ regional airline”

Ha, I always think the same when pax get on a 175 and say “errrmerrgerrrdd it’s sooooo small.” They must be new to travel and skipped the Metroliner days.

So you’re in support of contract employment, B-scale operations and slave labor in the airline industry? Well if you work at a legacy of course you are because your paycheck is directly funded by it...

It’s about time an official public movement is started.

Interesting. I was on XJT and SkyWest a couple of weeks ago, and they both said who they were. I was expecting them not to. Maybe United requested that they do after the Dr. Dan incident?
