Since internet is emotionless, i might be misreading this sentence. But in case i am not... this statement in it self is what is wrong with the "old" generation of pilots and should go away.
No more are FO just doing " Gear up, Flaps up, Shut up" and calling us half wingers is looking down on regional pilots. No wonder there is so much hate...

FYI, Kirby can add more rj’s if he want without an ounce of capitulation from us. Yet he isn’t 🤔. But you probably knew that. Yet we are adding more Airbus, soon to resume the maxes, 777, 767, and 787’s without parking any.

Old generation? I’m a millennial. Half winger is a reference to being a probationary pilot at an Alpa carrier. You get your full wing when you get off probation. And believe me we take care of our half wingers. We love half wingers. It means we’re hiring.

I'm willing to sign the new agreement except for one small change:

On Republic/SkyWest/Mesa UA Flights the priority for the jumpseat goes like this:

1. Own metal
2. Republic/SkyWest/Mesa by TOC
3. UAL/UAX unique carriers by TOC
4. OAL
5. GoJet just because they have no backbone

Fair is fair and I believe this will make the agreement more reciprocal then the current UAL proposal. Level headed UAL employees will even agree with this.

Apparently this is what they have been proposing, but UALPA is a hard no. Pretty sure they’re saying it’s a IT issue, so I wouldn’t hold your breath. They want priority on every UA/UAX flight, except own carrier.

And this is what's wrong with my generation (millennials) way too up tight and offended too easily. Half winger is a term used when your on probation at an ALPA carrier not for RJ guys. And slinging gear has been used forever.
