Not a chance in hell RAH would ever even consider Mesa..no matter the product they fly. An absolute disaster.

10K/month+ while getting dollar for dollar match on a 401(k) which is good nowadays ANYWHERE, not to mention 14-18 dys off per month and I've not been junior manned in 10 years. There are HUNDREDS above me at Eagle in the same boat and I'm sure many of the other established RJ regionals have many captains with 10+ years and are pretty happy.
Again, it's probably true a technical MAJORITY are what you say, but the above statement isn't true.

Eaglefly- do u realize that you and the hundreds above u are the problem at the regional level? Regionals are not meant to make a career at. When the majors hire again are you going to go or u too comfy with ur gig? AMR and Delta are trying to get u guys to quit or move on by closing bases and offering early outs. There is nothing worse than seeing a crusty old captain at a regional. When movement starts u guys better start moving. If their not paying u guys 6 figures than maybe they can pay more to the majority ur talking about. Move on. If ur not moving forward you are moving backwards. Now, if the majors started hiring...

This statement is not true. I don't conisder myself underpaid let alone GROSSLY underpaid, but then again I have seniority which means eferything in pay and "working conditions".

When the majors start hiring, it's true, there will be many regional captains who will pass. They will be too entrenched in their current position. 99% of the guys I fly with have no plans of moving on. Majors will need to sweeten the deal or drop the pic requirement in order to fill seats when the next boom hits.

There isn't a job at Southwest waiting for everyone when they reach 1000PIC. Just what other wonderful opportunites have been out there in the last 8 years? Even if someone wanted to change airlines it probably isn't going to happen for 2-3 years.
You don't even work at an airline Husky, yet you offer career advice to pilots that have been in the industry since you were a little kid. You're in the pool at Eagle and think he should leave so you can have a job - nice entitlement attitude.
