Maybe some of you guys at the Majors could tell these guys a thing or two about who should be flying under the mainlines name. Obviously some of them think it shouldn't be CAL pilots.

I tried but, they just say I work for ExpressJet and act like they don't poach on Mainline flying like we do. I think CAL pilots should fly our 50-seaters, but to think its alright to fly 70-seaters for CAL is better than a 50-seater jet?

How old are you? 5? Complaining to mommy and daddy? If you have an opinion, defend it yourself.

Amazing...

The guy is trying to defend keeping the flying at mainline. I sure hope you don't work for a mainline carrier with that attitude of yours but from reading what you wrote would pretty much answer that question. Guess your avatar says it all: "QUITTER" ...........

So the point you are trying to get across is that feel you do flying that should be done by mainline and you want Colgan pilots to feel the same about the flying that they do? I'm not sure what your point is.

At least the SAAB is a regional airliner. When did Toronto to Houston become a "regional" flight....talk about stealing from mainline.

Sure it's regional, it operates the region of North America.

But yeah, anything over 90 minutes in an "rj" should be criminal.
