I wonder how the attitudes of the mainline guys, many of whom post regularly here, will change. After all, in their minds we're just second class citizens. How will they ever choke back their disgust at the idea of sharing a flight deck with regional pukes like us? The mind fairly boggles...
Let me be clear: I hope everyone, everywhere, keeps the jobs they have, and that furloughs are avoided. We're all line pilots; we're all in this together. But I'm tired of the constant stream of condescension directed at regional pilots by some of the mainline guys on this forum. According to them, we're the home of "misfits," "guys with DUIs," "guys with felonies," "losers who would never pass our interviews," and so on. All of this is just misguided, ridiculous, and frankly offensive commentary.
I'm sure that if a flowback happens, that 99 out of 100 flowback guys will be great to fly with. Maybe it's just the 1% that frequent this forum. I'm just not looking forward to flying with that guy.

No. I spent that time trying to make Mesa/Skywest a better place than when I started. Not salivating at further scope erosion that only helps a small minority and advocating against pilot protecting initiatives.
I’ve always been critical of the D. Livin____’s of the world who were ok selling out the pilots to please management. Those who were allegedly independently financially secure, therefore capitulation was acceptable.
Anyhow, good luck and safe travels.

Before anyone takes this individuals information too seriously, I'd recommend using the "view prior posts" feature of APC and reading through some of this individual's other predictions from the last month or two. Their track record of accurately predicting things is not impressive.
More proof that SGU is behind COVID-19.
