Just messin around as I always do in RAH threads.. Don't take it all personal and go name calling.. But I do stand on your side of the fence against backpack sporting, gel haired, sunglasses inside regional guys who sit there and go "yeah my regional is king because I fly for them".. Pleaaase.

Twice has a brickyard FO with gelled up hair and his sunglasses in his epaulets said to me while I rode "his" jumpseat, "you should totally come over here. On second year pay and it ain't bad dude.. 170 time is going to be gold in a few years".... Middle of the flight he starts explaining how autothrottles work.. I'm just shutting my eyes and this 14 year exCHQ CA is shaking his head... Fun times.

"You know, there was a time we'd take a guy like you out back and beat you with a hose; now you got your ******* unions."

Get over it man. By you're reasoning no one should be working at the "regional" level because...I hate to break it to you....WE ARE ALL BOTTOM FEEDERS!!! No matter if you work at Skywest or you work at Great Lakes, we are all working in the same cr@p sandwich! And management will always look to save a buck, and eliminate YOUR job when practical.

What are you going to do look at every Grey, Blue, and Red badge and check out their hire date? YGBSM. Get off your high horse and give up the "you are all wrecking the industry behind me for taking a job at xxxx regional". That mentality to me is the same as the main line guys giving me crap because we "stole" HIS flying. Get out of here. Some people have to start somewhere and do I want them at RAH? Not really, but, some people gotta do what they gotta do to make it in this messed up industry. Do you think the CFI who busted his butt in the pattern, teaching, or the check hauler who has survived winters in the Northeast is going to really turn down a job...especially if it's the only one offered to him or her?

Go ahead and look down on us for something we can't change. I am sorry if it costs people's jobs, I really am, but that is something that is up to the enemy (management). But as always, we are our own enemies. Good to see that hasn't changed!

It is F9's fault with LOA 67! Isn't that what I keep on hearing from you guys.
Blaming your predicament on somebody else. IBT we Stand!

No, take an Airbus seat!

See my other posts in other threads. I would rather quit than fly the Airbus for Bedford.

I think Eagle is going to feel a royal shaft, HOWEVER this is some executives comment when he needs to make things look good. He just said they hope to make money off AA scope relief. Its not really anything to see here, if they arent the bottom bid they wont get the flying. This was just a way to make things look good, while that place is having some serious labor problems and facing economic issues as Frontier continues to burn up cash.

Sorry to burst your bubble there sport but F9 is actually making money!

Well maybe if you didn't pick up so much overtime I would have gotten recalled before my furlough fund ran dry. Do you know why the LTLOAs were limited to 50, despite many more willing and able, right before I got kicked to the curb?

For what Q2 2012? So is AMR and they are in CH11. Even PNCL turned some green in July. Lets look at year end 2012, bet it will look like 2011. Whats the long term plan??? Wait around Denver till Southwest is running flights to all your destinations??

My point is that this is nothing more than pep talk to investors. They still need to win this contract over Gojet/Mesa/Compass. RAH isnt offered anything yet, they just said on a phone call they hope to make money off this.
