If you are waiting for a callback from furlough at a major, how about getting a job in any other field? You would most likely make more money than a regional FO, and wouldnt outsource your own job.
Why don't you get a job in another field? Anyone that works at a commuter/regional is outsourcing jobs from a major. You are no better just because you call a couple of hours more per flight hour something to be proud of.

You just don't get it... You make excuses and try to find reasons for your own actions.

If you only got stuck here you are at, and never got a recall.. Maybe you would get it then.

You do know the history behind this outsourcing right?? The regionals one day didn't up and "steal" that precious MAJOR flying...I agree all flying should be at the Major level...but maybe you need to educate yourself a little more before you start slinging.

Some more than others is a true statement, but we are all guilty as soon as we accept a job at any regional.

You can always tell inexperience when someone doesn't know or understand that the quality of life associated with any airline is directly linked to the contract.

Sadly enough the problem with the industry is not only the naive types in this thread that would happily fly a 70 seat jet for 50 seat pay; but also those that are ok working for a company specifically designed to circumvent a pilot group and their contract. These are the same people that would cross a line, any line, just to enrich themselves.

I don't care how good the contract is----when you accept a job at poverty wage level----you have tainted the industry. And all regionals start out at poverty wages.

I'm going to go get a Lear type, and apply at FlexJet, and ask to get paid for less than industry average, just so I can stay in the industry!!! SCREW the furloughed rest!!!
