P.S. I dont care even if it is a "turboprop." That thing is as big as a DC9 or F100.

If your so high and mighty about being above this regional flying, why do you work for one??? If you dont agree with regional flying like you said you agreed 500% to mainline flying why dont you quit and and sit at home and not be employed by a regional?

Go picket when mainline pilots have events. Support their cause! I really think mainline guys are done giving up scope, and should not fall for those stupid carrots anymore. Those 900s should be flown at the legacy airline level. For Pete's sake, Air Canada has got it right! They gave out the 700s/900s to Air Canada Jazz but every single EMB-170/175/190 is at mainline Air Canada. In fact, the entry-level position at Air Canada is on the Embraer 170/175. That's how it should have been here. Instead, we have Republic the world's largest operator of "E-Jets"


You know what? I actually hope we at 9E lose all the Qs and the CRJ-900s. I hope mainline takes that flying back! Do you realize that Delta pilots have a published payrate for the bigger RJs? Regionals should never have expanded beyond the 50 seat market, but now that it has, I look forward to it getting cut back. Take the greater than 70 seaters back to mainline, and let the regionals operate the 50 seaters or less. Then as time continues and the 50 seaters become less efficient, right-size the regionals by having them park a portion of the 50-seater fleet. After 9/11 we had a huge disproportionate amount of growth in 50 seater RJs. It's time to take that back. Regionals should shrink, some should disappear altogether, and the bigger RJs should be operated by mainline. Sure AA will have to operate the 900, but it should be AA pilots that do it! Only those pilots willing to whhore themselves out (like you) say something stupid like you would be ticked off if your regional didn't bid for that flying. If that's how you truly feel, then you don't get it!

Not anymore, I know better.

You think if we had SJS we woulda started off with a place that has jets?? And let me guess, had you got the ability to hold Q CA you wouldnt have crossed to the 9L side for the upgrade. Cause if you had, why you getting upset with people coming from 9L to 9E side?

Everything you say contradicts everything you want, you just dont want to admit:
-You would have gone to Q CA
-You preach about the crap regionals and we all are scum, but yet you work for one
-You preach about scope, but yet you fly for a regional that has 900s
