I'm actually impressed. Finally, the ugly reality of being a regional pilot is making a headline.
Maybe some change is around the corner, but after being here for almost a decade and watching it get worse every day, I'm not expecting much.

My question/concerns are;
Will those who are really in charge of the regionals--legacy airline management--do anything to remedy the current compensation/career progression model?
Or are they intentionally sitting on their hands to let the current situation get so catastrophic that the government will give them anything they want, e.g., Multi Crew License, repeal the ATP law, financial incentives?
I think it should absolutely be a matter of public record and a highlighted issue before our congress, that the method of attracting new pilots and mechanics was to force more concessions on such those groups. Management should have to answer to that before they start asking the government for leniency or handouts.

Mainline pilots (who are applying by the thousands) are getting pay raises.* However, regional pilots (who cannot be found), need to take concessions OR ELSE! Makes sense to me!!
Also, I am writing my congressman concise letters to counter what I assume is a boatload of propaganda from Roger Cohen 'n pals. In know that is not much, but I am trying to do something constructive.
*Mainline pilots getting pay raises is a GOOD thing, no question!
