Re-read the part you quoted. He mentions QOL right in there. Besides, to each his own. Just because you and I want to prioritize Pay, QOL, and Bases doesn't mean someone else has to. Leave the guy alone!

Your right, maybe it was the comment about not really wanting to know about the pay scales because they fly a "Cool little airplane" To each their own but that mentality is a huge problem in OUR industry. Why not fly for free, I mean it really is a "Cool little airplane". To each their own but thats my opinion.
When i applied for my job i applied for QOL, Pay, Base, and the company. Not because of the Airplane. I would fly a Cessna for the rest of my career if i was paid enough. Airplanes are Airplanes

I'm all for pilots getting paid as much as possible. I'm all against commercial pilots working for free or less than what the job is worth. I do have a problem with flying an airplane for free because it is a cool little airplane. I am not, however, against someone working for the pay that the unions have negotiated for XYZ company before this person even applied, so that this someone can fly what they believe is a cool little airplane.

QOL is nice at RAH. Bases are mostly in the Northeast and Midwest, but there are a few further south. Contract is not too shabby although there's a lil' more gray area than most would like to see. The FO pay is a sore spot, but it's certainly not the lowest out there. Most of the people that complain about RAH...don't work here.
P.S. - Stay away from the 170. Longer reserve, fewer bases, same pay. The 145 is the sweetest gig out there.

This really is ridiculous. You guys know little about my reason for flying. I just thought, hey, if I'm at a regional might as well get a plane I like flying. The pay will come eventually. I've already been at the bottom of this life's barrel so why not dream a little. I could care less about the pay. There are so many jobs out there that suck and pay worse than being a pilot, get real with yourselves. This is such a ridiculous, juvenile argument, who cares what I think. This website has proven some things to me. Good bye.

Well, superpilot, what the heck else have you done in your life? Seriously? This thing you call a life is not about pay, its about helping others and yourself to be better than you ever thought possible. You'll realize this on your deathbed if you're unfortunate. I hope you see the light before that. I hope you know that you are forgiven for these rants. You're better than this.
