"This company sucks... your company sucks ... all regional airlines suck" Where does anyone get the idea that they have any right to tell anyone else they made the wrong decision in going to the company that they are working for?!?! Everyone has different reasons for going to the airlines they choose? Is ANY airline perfect?! NO! There is not a single airline out there that is without flaws, no matter which way you care to look at it.

Whether one chooses to go to an airline for a quick upgrade, QOL, more money, better aircraft, to be home every night ... the reasons are endless, and who are we, or anyone else for that matter, to judge anyone's decision? Yeah, we are going to complain about the company we are with because it's not perfect, and at some point or another, something is going to end up sucking. Life isn't fair! We all do what we need to do in order to get through the day.

It is so nice to be loved

lean back for a second and think about where this thread has gone... mgmt loves this! A rant/issue is posted publicly and it ends up with pilots bickering with EACH OTHER. Everyone preaches unity and unions, or just claims to all be in this same industry together but we are all just knocking each other down. No, I don't have a solution to recommend- but look at the BIG picture industry wise. A single mgmt group reinventing the wheel can quickly become the "Status quo" which helps nobody. Look at reduced rest, look at low pay rates, look at PBS. These are now "lessons" but unity (throughout the industry, not doing a union ad here) can keep things in our court. This is BS for those at 9L.



That being said- VOTE ALPA. (had to put it in somewhere!)

Hey man, I heard about that a few days before that upgrade class started. Sorry you had to be the victim of a retarded company. I know you and you are ready to upgrade. It's just one more thing this company does wrong. How about the on time performance list, another joke. The captain I flew with all month was on the CA list for ontime performance but my name was not on the FO list. However, the other CA and FO at our base were on the list. Now, I could care less about being on the list , it's just the point that theres no ryme or reason to it. And how does an FO and FA have anything to do with the ontime performance. It should just be for CA's only. I'll see you at ground in a few weeks, Go Bruins!

captain152- already did... sorry it just sickens me that a company who painted such a rosy picture at the interview runs operations like this. It was my first regional interview though FWIW...

Anyone who even cares about that list is a tool. That is the liars list. Who cares about an ontime performance list when we do not have ACARS.

It is too bad you don't have a union contract that requires seniority promotion. When you're non-union, they can do pretty much what they want and what are you going to say?

Nothing, that's what.

lol cmon now, every single company on earth does this on interviews unless you have a secretly disgruntled guy conducting the interview, I mean they are trying to sell you the company as much as you are trying to sell yourself.
