What’s with the obsession about asking folks if they built time at a regional? Are you changing the argument since the facts don’t support your original claim?

BTW I flew on a 550 this morning and it reminded me yet again, what a subpar experience it delivers to our customers.

Did you fly for a regional to build time?

It’s a vastly better experience than the ERJ-145 at C5 or the CRJ200 at OO. Those planes are reserved for soulless people who aspire to attend a Diddy party.

I know you didn't ask me.

No, I never flew at a regional. Did 7 years ACMI abroad, commuting to the US, 8 years 91k, and 11 years ULCC. Now at UAL. At no point in my life have I applied to a regional in the US.

Sure did. From 2000-2007. Had an ATP since 1999. Flew the ATR, SF3, CRJ-700 and EMJ-135/140/145 for a wholly owned company. With scope and contract provisions in place, I flew with furloughed AA pilots after 9/11. You think scope wasn’t an issue? LOL

With the Lost Decade in full effect, I went corporate for 2007-2015 flying Citations part 91, when I then was hired by WN.

Our pilot contract has the benchmark on scope. We don’t contract, nor do we have a regional.

Your scope arguments don’t hold any water. This is a business contract we operate under—one I will picket for and walk the line for. And did, with UAL pilots, no less.

So let me get this straight. You by choice advanced your career flying regional feed that has taken jobs away from mainline pilots, and now are having heartburn about those same airplanes now that you are at a major.

Son, put down the shovel. The hole you’ve dug is deep enough. You sound like an idiot. Seriously, get lost.

If you are finding the discussion upsetting and triggering, you can put me on your blocked list. I won't hold it against you.

Unsurprisingly here you are defending someone using the same rhetoric.
I have no idea what the argument since I haven’t been following the discussion, but pointing out your MO. Everyone at that AA thread, including you, settled for personal threats instead of facts. Stuff of sore losers lol
