Omg!!
Anybody else notice that this canned BS spews rhetoric about EVERY SINGLE bullet point that the critics have against regionals and their pay, performance and training?
"Better myself financially..."
"Our training is better than mainlines....."
etc, etc.
All we need is for "Charlie" to issue sentiment about how proud he is that he gets to work 16hrs. a day and that his "hometown" airline hires to the bare minimums.
Yes, RAA, we noticed and are not impressed. What a load of #$%#!!!

His motivations for becoming an airline pilot are also very unique. Did he wake up one day, see an airplane and think, “Why not? I got these ratings a while ago so I might as well use them now.” Usually everyone else wants to be an airline pilot first and then gets the ratings.
Also, I am trying to think how going to a regional could improve his finical situation. I am trying to think of any full time job that pays less than first year pay at regionals, and I am stumped.

Hopefully this DB's "home town" airline, doesn't decide to close his base, furlough, and displace him to another domicile where he'd have to commute. Poor Charlie. He'd have to look for a crashpad, share cramped space with other pilots....or he could move. Either way, it's money out of poor Charlie's pocket for decisions he had no control of. Gee, that sounds swell. I wish Charlie was the same color orange as our RAA friend from Frontline.
