It is worth getting hard over. In my opinion its a safety of flight issue. It forces the scenario where there could be a mechanical issue with the aircraft and either pilot knows that if they write it up, it could well result in the flight being canceled. That means loss of up to 4 hours pay credit on an out and back.
Pay credit should never be a deciding factor when making a decision whether to write something up or not.

Well that's 2 down and how many to go? I'm sure you can find other flaw(s) at other Regional Airlines out there too. Seems like options are getting limited and for a second I thought life at the Regional was going to be wonderful with six figure pay and great pension. bummer
Your options certainly are not "limited" either. There are over 20 regional airlines in the U.S and A, all of them hiring right now.
I would encourage anyone looking into applying for their first regional job to do their homework, research the contract, and use recourses such as this web site to narrow down the ones that are worth applying to.
Like I said earlier, I find it intriguing that so many people stand up to defend their precocious regional. Its not like I said your girlfriend was fat, just pointing out what I consider to be an unacceptable practice.
Rationalize all you want. Good luck, and I hope you don't get grounded by a snow storm or something. Christmas is coming up, you need the money!

For those looking for a job, TSA has leg-by-leg cancellation pay. Including open time pickups. The jets are less shiny, though...

Wow! Someone is bitter. ... And to answer your question; no I'm not a flight attendant. I've flown for a few carriers around the world. I agree, that the regionals do suck when it comes to pay work rules ect. But it's a regional! Most of us are here waiting for the mainline carriers to open up. I left a pretty lucrative international contract to be closer to ailing family members. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to stay current and work for a company who has such a great pilot group. But, that's just my $0.02

RDU is a great base with great folks. Just like the rest of the airline, most of the CA's are ex Comair. You will fly with great folks.
If you feel comfortable, could you post your interview expirence? I've been getting PM'ed for current interview gouge, but I don't have anything currently to provide.
