Would you rather we look down at you and other regional pilots and not engage in conversation?
Sure this is entertaining, and it's how I spend my morning coffee time, but there is also some good info on here. The segregation of regionals and mainline is slowly eroding, and that's a good thing.

Never alluded to what you suggest...not sure where you got it. If you look at his posts, they are all in various regional forums and none in any major forums, which is odd, for a major pilot to be in the regional land spewing condescending crap, as if he is looking for guys down "beneath" him to boost his ego. You post relevant posts and engage in decent conversation. He acts like a d bag in someone else's forum. There is a difference, one that you normally pick up on.

I couldn't listen to the full phone conference. Are we looking at industry average for the next contract? I heard them kill some guys dreams about better health-care.

Uh oh. Bid is out. Didn't expect the 175 to go so junior.

That's a 1 year 5 month upgrade onto the 175 for a few of those guys.

I doubt I'm the only one who feels this way but there's going to have to be eventual contract gains across the board to get people in the door. If the labor supply actually dwindles and the regionals can't raise pay while still turning a profit, then maybe we need to think about burning this part of the industry down and starting over.

It sounded to me that in their opinion if we were a wholly owned airline they would be able to make more progress but like tinman said there are very small profit margins to take from so they're going to work on "non-economic" improvements. Doesn't sound very promissing. Also, that for an airline to go on strike, which I'm not saying is a good or bad idea, is nearly impossible. So that's nice for management to never have to worry about that.

Yeah, the call wasn't exactly encouraging.
In other disappointing news: no PHX FO vacancies and none backfilled after the upgrade awards, should've been a few backfills at least.

If you put in for Phoenix, does someone under you get pushed out or do they just not let you in until there's a vacancy?

If there is a vacancy, then you will be awarded a spot, and everyone below you will bump down a spot.
The most junior guy today will bump down to the most junior guy after the vacancy award, making room for you wherever you fall in the FO list for that base.
