Do you take a guy for a freight dog job that has little instrument experience and barely makes the 135 mins, or the furloughed airline pilot with a fews years experience flying complex jet airplanes?
I think you misunderstood what gtippin was saying. I think he was saying that every interview he goes to for a flight department or jet owner, he sees plenty of furloughed regional guys. Based on the post I'm inferring that he also has complex jet time and might be type rated in a couple of aircraft. The reason he may not be getting the job is that the regional guys are getting the job because they will fly for less (possibly below avg 91/135 rates) than gtippin.
