Yea isn't it awesome...They fly almost twice the seats as some regionals yet in some cases their captains make around $20 grand a year less compared to a equal length captain, not even going to talk about F/O pay. It's all good though, they fly big planes. That's all that matters... Who cares if they reduce mainline capacity. Who cares if they get paid crap, and with all due respect the contract isn't worth a painting of a whale and a dolphin gettin' it on AND I DO MEAN WITH ALL DUE RESPECT.

Let me just be clear, since some people missed my point. I don't enjoy being stuck at a regional. I would much rather move on. However, I don't see much opportunity to leave this place in the next 5 years. I should have been through the revolving door that was once "regional airlines" already, but the only exit is the street. The lobby has been closed, and is in serious disrepair. Mainline pilots are the ones who should have tended to the upkeep of the ground level entry, but it seems they were all too busy trying to get into the penthouse suite.

Word on the street is that we are doing some charter service for a company out of Indy. They want to 190's and are willing to pony up to get them. We are going to fly them. As far as a FA needing training materials or seeing a schedule that says anything about 190's you won't. All the pilots need to do is read the differences package and we are good to go. All ready typed, both seats. Flame On!

How'd you come to that conclusion. You should try reading out loud. Never once does he says he want's 190's at a regional. He's saying it's not his fault if they get them and he is right.

Will you, or any of your co-workers just fly them, or will you take advantage of the fact that you're in current negotiations, and try to get mainline pay for a mainline aircraft?
Honest question there Fred, since we're assuming that you guys have "no say" in the equipment that your company flies.
