That's the problem. You don't regret riding coat tails. Its not just about regionals. Its about the profession as a whole.

It's like you're just upset because someone else is happy. If RAH or SKYW came out tomorrow and announced a new contract with a 20% pay increase instead of congratulating them you'd sit there and say it happened because they lowballed someone.
Ignorance is bliss. ALPA has many more victories for the profession as a whole in the last 75+ years than failures. People just have very short memories. Its not just about being happy but also about contributing to the profession. A 20% pay increase at RAH would be different than a pay increase at SKW anyways and it has nothing to do with lowballing.

I have been at Colgan for almost 2 years and I have 52% of the group below me because of the big Q hiring spree. I am for a merged list with fences so that all of us FO's who have waited can get their upgrade and furture FO's will have the opportunity to fly whatever aircraft they can hold down the road. 2-3 year fence would be great.
Those are my thoughts also. It only makes sense.
