Um, yeah, obviously they aren't hopping jobs for flow, or quick upgrades...But there are plenty that are jumping into really crummy deals that I feel like are a detriment to the industry as a whole. Look at some of the lease purchase programs at some of the bottom feeder companies (CR England, Swift, Schneider, etc). They are mostly **** deals that look good but benefit no one but the company.

For those of you responding in this thread who claim to have been in this business before or know someone in the business, can pilots or their representation learn anything of value from this industry?

Of course he has his. And he needs a lot of low-cost regional capacity to subsidize his income.

Very true, but ALPA has failed the regional pilots. The entire representation is a joke. The wheels are falling off. There is no shortage of pilots, just a shortage of pilots willing to make 30,000/ year after investing 100k.
