Some regionals can't even get pilots to wear pants let alone wings

Don't get married to the job, then. Quit. You did not know what the payscale was when you signed on? Did you run the numbers? Or did you expect a handout?

Whenever I see threads like this one turn into several pages of nonsense, I can't help but think "man some of these guys need to get laid..."

Seriously...a thread about wings doesn't need six pages.

I am quitting, only a month left. Enjoy your "dream job" and the 40k a year paychecks.

Congratulations. Im happy for you. Being an airline pilot is not a dream job for me. Being a corporate pilot was closer to that reality. Now Im looking for stability since I have to think about my family. I have adjusted my expectations after being in the "flying" industry for more than 15 years.

I will seriously consider what you did, in a few years. I do understand it is a lottery system and I may not win.

Your bitterness shines through your posts, hopefully it does not manifest itself when you deal with those around you........

Good luck

and Bless God

Just curious where you are leaving too? What field?

He probably didn't expect anything other than what was promised when we all started at the regionals "a couple years right seat, 1,000 hrs in the left and every legacy will be drooling for you"... 7 years later their upgrade is finally about to happen...

Back to the regularly scheduled "my regional is better than yours because we have more shiny wings"... My opinion is some wings (smaller) fit well on shirts and others (the bigger kind) probably weigh the shirt down for its size and wouldn't fit well... Because of this I suppose different regionals have adopted different policies that fit their uniforms best...
