Frontier/Republic

And yes, it applies to any airline. Doesn't matter which market segments served

Then why cant a regional merge with a major when a regional gets bought by a major?

Mainline arrogance....Regionals pilots aren't cut from the same cloth....

Mainlines have permitted aircraft types in their scope contracts.

your options are;
A. let the scope go
B. merge

Because not all of us are qualified to be Double Breasted Van Admirals.

Given the selection process and what gathers at the top of regional lists, you're absolutely right. Many would make the cut, but there are some real doozies. I keep hearing your name, speaking of.

So i am curious does this mean there are no doozies at delta?

Oh, Heavens, No. All of the folks at Delta are pure hat wearing, sin free, perfect aviators.

They are very rare... less than 1% in my experience. Only one in 7 years that I've really disliked flying with, and he's walking a thin line on being fired. One more slip up by him and bye...

Many of us are not perfect (I for one), but many of us have cut our teeth on instructing, hauling freight, and flying air ambulance (I for one, ten years of commercial flying before I reached the holy 121 world).

Still, I can't seem to wear a double breasted suit correctly.
