I see posts/articals like this or this.
My response is get your own fractional. Buy your own jet. Oh wait, you complained about turboprops (puddlejumpers) and now Regional Jets (RJ's) and still fly the unfriendly airlines. You can't pony up the $50,000 it takes to hire your own airplane so STFU.
The airlines are the greyhound bus of the aviation world. The pilots don't give a shit about you anyway (let's be honest, they want to get to the fractional world so they can get treated like professionals and be paid like professionals instead of the greyhound bus driver they currently get paid and respected like). The Flight Attendants only want travel and a decent paycheck. The Maintenance guys don't care (hahaha, they START at $50k at a corporate jet job - the airlines can't compete on that score). I don't know how the customer service reps care (oh wait, they don't and especially when you treat them like shit).
As it currently stands, the night cargo guys are almost respected (and paid) more in the aviation business than the airline guys. It takes skill and balls to fly a piston twin in rough weather without radar or decent equipment. The last redeeming quality of the airlines is they fly turbine equipment, and it's valued in the aviation world.
Pony up the $50k a year and sit back and enjoy your catered meal and lack of lines or don't and enjoy the smell.
