Try having them drag you though a bankruptcy, or show you a contract and say “Sign this or you’ll end up like Comair” I understand it’s business but to some, it left a very bad taste that they can’t get over.

Yeah, pretty much. Always laughed at those who really thought if they did better, their Legacy overlords would rain new planes and flows upon them.

Cheap outsourced labor. It’s why the “better than my regional” statement drives so many crazy. It’s supposed to be better than your regional.

That's exactly what I just said. It's business, and I didn't take it personal. It doesn't change the fact some of those decisions from mainline has such a negative effect to many regional pilots. That they don't want anything to do with that particular mainline anymore.

Can we stop trying to get the thread back on track. Seriously, happens every time it gets derailed.....
How can we ever vent over all the perceived slights if this keeps happening.
