There's a lot of 'groupthink' going on in this thread. I'm kind of curious where I supposedly went from "nice guy who supports his wife" to condescending, threatening and demeaning.

You just come across as cocky and arrogant. The way that you've posted makes it seem that you're right no matter what. It seems like what's good for you should be good for everyone else: People that decide to stay at regionals because they're happy aren't as good as you, since you fly big planes and get to go to exotic destinations.

There's something to be said for people who can be happy with their lives as they are now. They find greater joy in watching their child's first steps rather than overnights in Milan.

Some people spend their whole lives chasing money and a "better" lifestyle, and at the end of it all realize that there's more important things than material things.


To each their own, but don't put others down because they don't share the same dreams as you.

Seems like the ones with DH/DB in the regionals are very defensive about the regionals. Just curious why? My DH is in the regionals and although I am scared about change and different schedule when he gets to the majors I am all for it. That has always been his goal to be in the majors and I don't want anything to deter him from that dream. I am all for him being in the majors whether it be domestic or international. You eventually "top out" out in the regionals. I agree with Kristie as far as "a better way" Regional pay sucks!!!!
Just my opinion though. Don't kick my butt please!

Women can be catty, but in the end we tend to work it out ourselves, or try to "agree to disagree"!

I don't know what the heck is happening around here, but I don't like it.

I have had nothing to contribute thus far, because I'm in no way connected with passenger flying or someone who does it, but I gotta say, here, that I saw absolutely no hostility. I'm sitting here baffled.

I don't think that anyone disagrees that majors usually pay more (eventually), but the fact is that a few regionals have better work rules than the majors. My DH also wants to work for the majors, but we respect that others have a right to do as they please without having to hear that they should be doing more.

Those that started somewhere like Mesa or Eagle are more likely to want to get out ASAP as opposed to Skywest, ExpressJet, and Air Whiskey. I'm just going by what I've heard others say.

I'm sorry but i'm not seeing hostile. Doug's never hostile towards anyone, ever...he's bold, give his 2 cents whether you want them or not and only gives you the straight poop from his point of view but no where anywhere are any actual "hostile" comments....so i'd really like to know what particular sentence was hostile.

cocky and arrogant do not equal hostile....

I agree that he gets cocky at some points but it's simply because he knows the way of the road, wants to help others get there...he knows that a lot of the other halves don't understand how it all works, so he too is a motivator..wants people to excel and you don't "have" to listen to him but you also don't have to call him out either. His perspective is wanted here just as much as anyone else's, this is an aviation related website.

hostile comments get people red/yellow cards, put on watchlists or banned. i wouldn't allow that type of thing to occur...so if i thought there was hostility going on, i would have put an end to it already. don't think the board isn't constantly moderated. it is but so far, nothing's needed moderating.

Sigh. Negative Nancies trying to hijack the website and then turn it around on us and say that we're the negatives... GRR

I agree with this.

Talking down to people and not respecting their opinions is what can potentially alienate people from message boards...

I really like this message board and I really don't want that to happen...

alright, don't even know where to begin:

1. Did not see Doug being hostile, or don't understand how someone came that poin.

2. Women are catty and in some instances they think that what they know is the best way, it is sometimes worked out yes, but the tone in which they write, still scream, honestly, snotty

3. We learn from other peoples experiences

4. Agree with what this person said, "Seems like the ones with DH/DB in the regionals are very defensive about the regionals. Just curious why?

5. Agree with what Kristie has said, "but it's simply because he knows the way of the road, wants to help others get there...he knows that a lot of the other halves don't understand how it all works, so he too is a motivator..wants people to excel and you don't "have" to listen to him but you also don't have to call him out either.
