Fair enough, though that is kind of like saying Skywest has a union, to put it in civilian terms
Though my former JOPA still texts probably multiple times a day, a decade+ later. So there is some "unity" there
Latest offer from FedEx management: We know it sucks here, we worked out an offer for you guys to go to PSA instead!

I know a guy who did this. I'm unclear about whether he actually ever showed up to delta class before he quit, but he did make the switch. I also fly with multiple guys up here who wanted to come over to the eskimo, but never got the call, and went to delta instead, maybe in the 5-7 years ago range. After doing CP meet and greets, and all the stuff.

I believe that’s called the Air Force
Is that like when Comair wanted to "interview" me and to bring a check for $12K when I was at Skyway?

Hey, you could have ended up at Delta. Being owned is everything!

People give it crap, I thought it was an awesome first jet. Forgiving trailing link gear, easy to get great landings. I never understood the CRJ-200 hate. Then again, I never flew the CRJ-7/9 so I don't have something to compare it with.
I loved the CRJ-200. Actually, I've loved all 3 jets I've flown.
Have you been on a CRJ 100/200 as a passenger? They really don't give a crap how fun it is to fly or 'trailing link gear' or how smooth you could land after the Stutka-esque dive bomb attack on the runway threshold.

Yes I flew all 3 -2/7/9 as a pax. The 7 and 9 were better for comfort and better window placement. That said, the -200 was fine for me as a 5'10" person. Most of the flights on that were sub 2 hrs so it was just fine.
The 7 and 9's are merely sufficient, better than a 737, but no one's using that jet as a gold star in PaxEx.
I look forward to taking scrap metal from the last -200, then fashioning it into a captain's tankard and drinking strongly-poured cocktails out of it.

Watch it, or you’ll be sent back to Beech 1900D purgatory
If they paid me DL 350 captain rate, I'd fly the poop out of it.
How many of the kids here back in the early days scraping by as a CFI or building time at Skymates would’ve sold their soul to fly a CRJ200?

Most of my classmates are either younger or came up via military so “coming of age” in the 2008 pilot market is foreign. Same with doing NDB approaches during instrument…How many of the kids here back in the early days scraping by as a CFI or building time at Skymates would’ve sold their soul to fly a CRJ200?
“You did your ATP on your own? Before the CTP rule? How much did that cost?”
I dunno bro that was literally over 10 years ago
Just last night, was giving a checkride to an older guy who not only knew how to properly navigate with an RMI needle, track vice home, but actually incorporated it in the instrument enroute and into the full approach holding pattern course reversal as a second means of course tracking. It was refreshing to see.

I consider myself so lucky after hearing stories like this. Makes me so incredibly thankful to have come up in the aviation industry at the time I did. Although sorry @MikeD what’s a RMI? Okay off to insta I go to post this sick short final pic.Is that like when Comair wanted to "interview" me and to bring a check for $12K when I was at Skyway?

What other airplane offered so many the chance to avoid propellers?
