But that was too far a distance to be a "regional" flight....You are really reaching. I understand your frustration. I'm sure you felt the same way when Comair was replaced. Seriously though, you are part of the very problem you now complain about. Give it a rest....

It was greedy senior mainline pilots who sold scope to keep their pay and retirement high while screwing everyone behind them. There is plenty of blame to go around. Mainline pilots, ALPA, APA, and all of us who took these jobs simply as a way to get to the mainline. Quit pointing fingers and look in the mirror.
