I know the planes themselves are different... the point is a regional pilot is a regional pilot... CRJ pilots aren't better than saab pilots (like I said... been both) EMB170 pilots aren't better than ERJ pilots... etc...

Pretty ballsy of them to think about sitting left seat to 9E and XJ guys who really deserved that upgrade, likely with more longevity than most of them too. You can hark on professionalism all you want, but that can only go so far. Maybe we'll need more "right seat captains" after all...you colgan guys are gonna need a PhD in CRM...

Yes us Colgan guys can't fly jets we are too dumb. I shoulda learned how to fly at purdue like u and then maybe I'd be good enough. If u will excuse me I need to go fly my Saab in the wx, I wasn't a good enough pilot to get a plane that can climb over most of it.

Would you honestly have done anything different if you were in that position? I obviously agree that the way the Bloch decision came down is not fair, but would you turn down the chance to upgrade if you were in that seat? I'm just glad I'm not one of those guys that went to a jet if that is seriously the attitude that's developing.

This is going to be a serious problem for our company on the jets; specifically having ex Colgan jet captains flying with senior Pinnacle FOs with more longevity that were on the cusp of upgrade. I can only hope that everyone involved will be professional enough to prevent this from becoming a safety issue.
