Default Stop using

The words "regional", "commuter", "feeder".

These are all derogatory words, used by management to make you think it's o k for them to pay you nothing and treat you like school children. Regional. What a joke. "Regional" planes are doing almost trams continental length trips, so what kind of "region" does that represent?

This bottom feeder, sub par mentality will continue for as long as you let it. You are worth more than you are being paid.

Stop settling for third best.

I agree, in this political correct country, i find it demeaning, insulting, demorilazing and discriminating. We are an airline, simple as that.

Stop using click bait thread titles.

" 14 things regional pilots are not doing that could save them money. Number 6 blew my mind ! "

I'll have to agree. There is better and more accurate terminology such as contract airline or teaching airline (similar to a teaching hospital).

As far as being paid what you are worth, that can't happen because pilots do not believe that. Most don't think for a second they could be stuck where they are at.

Thanks FirstClass

The last sentence in your post should give the clueless pause for thought. The whole "we're all gonna be at mainline in 5 years" thing is a great plan. I really hope it pans out that way. Regardless, it still doesn't justify how you guys are treated and paid.

Try to mentor some of these youngsters, they could learn a lot from you.

Sigh.......have you learned NOTHING as of late? ALL you had to type was that you are "offended" by such terminology.

That's a good one. Any thoughts on LCC/ULCC/ACMI/freight?

In the days of yore, it was an "apprenticeship" if you will. "gotta pay your dues if you wanna make it to the big leagues".

And don't EVER FORGET, ALPA national under the leadership of lisping Moak the Joke DIDNT feel that regional pilots deserved to be compensated MORE and that they SHOULD take pay concessions.
