I work for the worst regional airline in America. I just finished a 14 hour duty day with 2 dead heads and 4 legs. I get paid a grand total of 4 hours pay.

And with my paycheck, ranting is a benefit because it doesn't cost much...:D |
It's no ones fault but ourselves and the people who continue to work at these regionals with poor work rules and pay. There are so many pilots out there thirsty for these flying jobs. The airlines know they can pay nickels and dimes to these pilots, just look at the stack of resumes that continues to grow.
More and more pilots have been getting stuck at regionals, and living out their careers there. Meanwhile, flying jobs have been slowly declining over the years at mainline, and with the exception of the recession, regional jobs continue to grow. Outsourcing of pilots not only has become popular, it has become the goal. If you were an executive at an airline, wouldnt you want to cut your costs in any way you can? It's about time we stand up as a group and say enough is enough. But sadly, when the doors open again for hiring in the near future, the lines will be long of pilots willing to fly for pennies. Many of us complain about our pay- about our work rules, some of us continue our jobs with the hope of a mainline career in the near future- yet it seems to grow farther and farther from reach as time goes on, and no one has does anything to improve our work situtation. |

Yes, that tops it.
I fly for commutair. We do not get paid for deadheads. We have no work rules beyond the FAA legal requirements. I get 9 days off a bid while on a reserve line. Its better than being furloughed, but not my much. |

In this business, we all make our own beds and when we have to sleep in this bed, it doesn't make sense to complain about it. You knowingly went to "the worst regional in America."
I know they had a REALLY crappy working agreement before, and I'm not sure their new one is much better. If you are at a different regional, then smile, you are not at "the worst regional in America" but a close facsimile of such airline;) |
