The RJ pilots have the carcasses of former regional carriers laying to see that there is always a lower bidder. ACA and COMAIR are only two of the biggest casualties.
The regional companies know they can shutdown one entity and those pilots are all out looking for new jobs somewhere else. The fact these carriers don't have a brand or customer base means another carrier can do their job. It might take a few months of pain on the major carriers behalf but it can be done. With the 50 seater dying and better major scope clauses these pilot groups are going to feel a pinch. They want our profits, yet their company negotiates a FFD. just as when the majors were losing money they were paid the same. When they have no risk they shouldn't get any reward.
Just hope this nightmare of the proliferation of the RJ is almost over.
Do you even require fuel in your aircraft? Your holier than thou attitude suggest that you can hover over water.
You managed to come into a REGIONAL pilot subforum and make yourself look like a complete tool in just one page. That took shyguy weeks to cultivate.
And when you speak of YOUR profits... do you mean your profit sharing check that came off the back of my reduced wages from a manufactured BK-induced TA?
Lemme guess, you're the type who lectures regional pilots while riding their jumpseat, and comes to the flight deck to complain about something you saw while riding a regional airliner on your way to work.
Please retire so that I can move up to mainline. The "real" pilots such as yourself screw up more clearances and radio calls than I ever imagined possible, so it's obviously time for you to move along old man.
You are either ex-military, or you got your time in the regionals before adopting your dikhead attitude.
