And why do you call us commuter guys??? You make it sound like we're just a bunch of guys going to work. Regional pilots are called regional pilots! Commuting is what you do when you are going to your place of work.You guys make it sound like you are going on a boy scout trip. Layovers are called layovers! Overnights are what you do when you're camping.
ummm...I don't think so. Look at the title of this forum..written by a major airline pilot. It's a commuter/small airline thinglay·o·ver
Layover is a passenger term.
They're called regional airlines. :crazy:ummm...I don't think so. Look at the title of this forum..written by a major airline pilot. It's a commuter/small airline thing
Size doesn't matter.I guess it's a small airline thing.
Sure it does. I know that as FO if I want a chance to live if we have to escape through the hatch in the RJ, I'd have to go first, because there are a lot of Captains that'd clog the exit, and DRANO doesn't float.Size doesn't matter.![]()
So, the dude who spends one sentence showing how much he cares what he is called......then goes on to suggest it doesn't matter what it's called??And why do you call us commuter guys???

How about who cares what it is called?
You mean the small airline I worked for that had 3,000 pilots and was a major by DOT standards?Maybe its a legacy carrier thing. I flew for a commuter airline (SkyWest) and they called layovers overnights too. I have never heard a guy at AA or at Continental (my wife flies for them) call a layover an overnight.
I guess it's a small airline thing.

That is the argument most commonly used by commuter pilots in hotel bars when attempting to pick up girls who aren't impressed by scooter-trash paychecks.You mean the small airline I worked for that had 3,000 pilots and was a major by DOT standards?

A layover is what you have when you drop your freight and you wait hours to get the out going freight. Overnights are what you have when you actually go to the hotel.
