Sub par is what you should look for when choosing a regional. Mainline will not let you have your cake and eat it too. If you get a leading edge contract with a good pay scale and lots of soft money you will shoot yourself in the foot and be back on the street after your company loses bids for flying and eventually shuts down and you will have to start over at the company that took your flying. The worst is the best! Put your time in and move on.

Air Wisconsin would be one of those exceptions as well. Air Wisconsin would be the only regional I would even consider going to. It's still not great pay but I think it's the best out there as far as a regional goes. I would still be worried considering they have probably the oldest fleet of airplanes and no one seems to want 50 seaters. They are also the highest paid with the best work rules. That combination has spelled doom for other regionals.

His view is part of the minority. Most pilots at RAH want to leave the company better than when they found it (CBA-wise). If most pilots thought like he does, we would have accepted the company's LBF offer and ended 5+ years of negotiations.

There has been a decent amount of hiring over the last couple of years. As far as last decade, why even join an industry that you knew was stagnant and carried 6-10 year upgrade if you're just going to complain about it? I left the industry after somebody flew an airplane into a building and increased my QOL by avoiding the dreaded decade. A lot of the recent RAH hiring has not been because of upgrades but because of FO's leaving for majors so why does upgrade time even matter? TPIC is a dinosaur requirement. I'm not against RAH getting a contract, I'm just poking fun at how the whole industry works in a trolling/sarcastic kind of way.
