Are you S-UAL?

There are a lot of us in the regionals that are just trying to get our time and get out. I'm in my 30s, 4 year degree, and had 135 and corporate flying experience before I came to this side. Why a regional? Because the economy has been terrible the past few years, and quite honestly I didn't have a lot of other options. That being said, I do my best to be as professional as possible. Most of us do, but of course there is always that 5% that make us look like idiots (as with any other pilot group and profession).

I am very disappointed with this proposed policy for Express carriers, but it is what it is. I certainly don't blame any of the pilot groups, and if anything it provides even more motivation to get the heck out of here ASAP.

But he sure cried foul when his airline's flying in the 303 area code was reduced and UAL shifted flying to other UAX carriers.

Well, I'm curious N2. Did you leave aviation because of low paying entry level jobs? Or do you just expect others to do what you "believe" to be right?

No, I didn't leave aviation, I'm still very much in it. My first job was like many peoples first job. It was a twenty-some-odd-thousand dollar a year job. There is no reason to make it $15,500 a year so you can pay for a ride to work on your airline. Had it been that way when I started, I can tell you I wouldn't have started. But I guess we know who you support in this scenario. It's not what I believe is right, but what actually is right, and I think we both know what is "right" in this situation. Are you even a pilot?
