Wouldn't mind seeing that new scheme on a Saab doing flying out west in Cali like they used to.

I thought the ERJ's we're being returned? I thought only PDT painted airframes with a new livery the week before it's scheduled to head back to the lessor.

145s are staying, the 135 and 140 are the ones leaving.

Now now... let's be fair, it says the drivers have the "potential" to earn 40k a year... We could do that if we flew 154 hours a month with no vacation and 2 days off each month!

How many seats does a greyhound bus have? 50? You could argue that the driver is the captain too. They still have to go through training and testing just like pilots. I think its a little arrogant to expect a first year F.O. at a regional airline to be paid more than a long distance bus driver.
Why do pilots have this attitiude that they should be paid more than everyone else? We are all just bus drivers at the end of the day.
Bring on the attacks. Just my opinion.

Yes really. I'm tired of people complaining about regional pay. It sucks, we get it. Everyone knows it when they sign up at ATP but they do it anyway.

The guys that have already paid thier dues but have to start at the bottom of the pile all over again have a right to be upset. New hire F.O.'s at their first 121 gig complaining about Mcdonalds workers being paid more than them is getting old.

Its like stepping outside when its raining then complaining that you got wet.

Buses don't travel at 37,000 feet at 500 mph.
Buses don't require a second driver, if they did I would expect them to be compensated the same.
Comparing pilots to bus drivers is apples to oranges, but in no way should a pilot carrying the same amount of passengers be paid less than a bus driver.

ERJF15 02-25-2013 07:57 AM
Damn...the thread just went left. The new paint job is growing on me. I like it on our RJs.

This doesn't make sense. How much someone is paid isn't based on persons expectations. If its easier to make money hauling people around slowly in buses than really fast in 50 seat jets, the market is going to pay bus drivers more.

The American Eagle Airlines has been tarnished with the branding itself.
Sad.

Busses don't have autopilots either. Or air traffic control seperating them from others on the road. You certainly have to concentrate more driving a bus on a single lane road than you do flying a barbie jet at 500 mph at 37,000', with its autopilot coupled to the FMS.
Drop the high and mighty pilot attitude and have respect for other peoples professions.
Too many kids with a sense of entitlement at the regionals. Build your time, pay your dues, and get some experience under your belt, then ask for the big bucks.
Thats the way it works in this industry. Those that don't want to accept that should go drive a grayhound. :D

Are you just trolling? If not:
TOTY (tool of the year)

How many people can jump into a jet and fly it across the country?
Now how many people can drive a bus across the country? It takes years and years of training to get to the 121 world. The skills required are not even comparable. I'm not sure why I'm even wasting my time responding to you...and it's spelled Greyhound!

The supply of bus drivers is less than 50 seat regional pilots or the pilots would be better compensated.

Spelt?...spelled

Years and years? How about the zero to hero 90 fast track program at ATP? I love it when little school girls get all butt hurt on here when they get a reality check. So I'm a tool and a troll. Hilarious.

Thanks for the spelling lesson too.

Yes! Supply and demand. How many people are willing and qualified to fly turbine aircraft for 30/40k a year? Apparently enough right now. If mainline contracts eased scope more, we'd see even larger aircraft being flown for 30k/40k because there *is* a supply of qualified and willing pilots to do that flying.

Get away from supply and demand (scarcity power) and you will get confused.

Yes, American pilots should have never have up scope so eagle pilots can fly their routes I agree.

Remember, being wholly owned means nothing and entitles you to nothing. A brand that doesn't sell their own tickets is a laughable product as it truly isn't its own product.

Statements like this do not come from airline pilots because you have more respect for your peers and a better understanding of what it takes to become an airline pilot.

Go back to Bus Line Driver Forums.

It just did come from an airline pilot. Stop making regional newbies out to be heros that should be paid more than everyone else. I've been hearing it for the last 8 years and its getting boring.

As I'm partly responsible for the thread drift, I'll say it looks pretty clean. I'm thinking the white would have kept the inside of the aircraft cooler on those hot days on ramp at DFW though. I guess we'll know in a couple of months if it makes a difference or not.

Not true, We all know its full of teenie bopper mall rats looking for new jeans and a nice denim jacket :)... can't wait to fly it!
