its those regionals and low cost carriers that ruined the job.
I beg to differ! It's the guys and gals that will do anything to fly for a living that are ruining the job!
They are thinking: OK I'll put up with lousy t/c now and build hours so that I can get the "real" paid job later... Guess what! It ain't gonna happen!! Cause you flying for peanuts now is undermining the "next" level and the decent paid job went bust
