What about all the other regionals you rip on. That was someone else's first opportunity too. This industry will NEVER go back to all mainline flying. There will always be regionals and thus, heaven forbid regional jet pilots. I could sit here and bash your company for taking 70+ seat flying, but I don't.
We, as in pilots, aren't the ones taking these contracts. The majors are farming out flying and there are businesses that want the flying. It isn't cost effective to run a DC9 from MSP - STC. So, the major has a regional do this because they don't want the smaller planes with high paid pilots up front. This is the nature of the industry. I'm sure everyone wants to be paid more for what they do, but there has to be limits. Apparently, the majors have to limit the costs associated with runs that have fewer passengers.
