You mean it "could" cruise faster. I've never had a -200 above .78 in level flight. And anything above ISA+0 it's .74 or less. The -700 will do .82 (limited to .83 in RVSM) and the -900 will do .85 (limited to .82 in RVSM) in level flight at any ISA.
Not bragging, just making sure the facts are straight.

It's obvious that the larger, newer planes are more capable. Nobody disputes that. But the facts are that a -200 can/could go to M.84/.85.
What could there possibly be to "brag" about?

When I was at Skywest I thought my flight benefits were great. I had pass privileges on both United and Delta. The increased flight options more than made up for lower non-rev priority. The travel department was more active in getting discounts for employees. I didn't expect to bump a mainline employee....ever. Regional employees are just contract employees for a major. Any at-risk self branded flying should allow the regional employees to have a higher priority on their own metal though.

I'm asking for higher priority. When the people get on my plane they are getting on Continental flight xxxx. Why is that I shouldnt have equal nonrev benefits? And for that matter pay, contract, and seniority at said airline. The second you agree that you shouldnt have the same board priority as a mainline employee is the second you agree that you are not as important as them. When you get left behind because the mainline ramper that just got hired last week beat you on you are saying that he is more important than you. I would say that you or I have much more invested in that mainline carrier than said ramper. WAKE UP!

As for the pay, contract and seniority at said airline, I just don't see that happening. Unless of course the mainline carrier starts taking back scope from the top down, which would open up jobs at said carrier. When you filled out your application it did say ExpressJet, and not Continental, right?

Plus you have access to the cockpit jumpseat, something almost all other employees don't
