Stuck at a regional options
So what are your options if you find yourself stuck at a regional unable to upgrade to captain or get on at a legacy? I hear emirates is hiring 5,000 hour guys. Also a lot of talk about china. What are some international options to look into and what are the hours they are looking for?

Work on marketing yourself and hit the job fairs. LCC's are already hiring guys with 2,500 hours, but you have to learn how to market yourself and be willing to put in the work. Frontier, Jetblue, Spirit, etc. all hire guys with no PIC. It may not be the last stop in your career, but it beats being stuck at the regionals.

It's an attitude thing. You probably wouldn't understand.

Just had a Atlas Jumpseater. If you are single that might be the only time to take that job. By the time we landed I felt sorry for the guy. Wow, it was brutal.
But like I said if you were single and didn't mind not seeing your family for stretches it might be some cool flying for awhile.
