Exactly, Saabs. You want to be where you'll upgrade fastest, get that 1000 TPIC and get OUT.

Or you can go to QX and sit out a 12 year upgrade.

The 1000TPIC, is pretty much a non factor. Many majors don't require it and only a handful do.

No, you missed the part where being a regional pilot is a lesser caste. You also missed the sarcastic indictment of the self appointed upper caste who hold the lesser caste in such contempt.

I was BSing with a pilot who was there for some reason and he asked me if I was excited to get my first airline job... I was like "ahhhh this would be more then my third job and Ive been at 9E for 6 years"... He said this is about as entry level as you get.. The door is right there I suggest you use it. I actually did.. NR'd home with my tail between my legs.

I mean nothing bad to any Republic/Shuttle etc people as every CREW MEMBER was very nice...
^this^ thank you

Well this planet. Maybe I should ask you the same ?. Take a look at UAL, Spirit, Hawaiian, JetBlue, Virgin, US Airways, ect.... None require your coveted 1000TPIC just an ATP.

Riiiiiiight and for the first few years of hiring that will take place the majority will have TPIC. I'd rather be at a place of growth than a stagnating place like Skywest or expressjet.

Pretty sure Al is from pncl and needs a job like a lot of us. But hey, it's just because they are "shinier" than our jets which are going to the boneyard.

Nice try
What, is gojets not hiring anymore? There are other places with a lot better contracts and pay rates hiring...

If it keeps him out of the unemployment line and he is able to feed his family, then yeah I guess you could say they are irresistible in certain circumstances.
Yeah, take two steps over from the unemployment line, straight to the welfare line.
