Boomer,
Given the quality of your posts, sense of humor and so forth I sure as heck hope you get hired here soon.
A lot of people sometimes misconstrue the hiring of 22 year olds with low time (not 259 hours per se but not 3000 either) as a sign of a cheap airline, when in fact it had to do a lot with trying to grab quality pilots before they went elsewhere. Remember an old experienced pilot costs just the same.
In the same respect I hope the airline takes into account stagnation on the regional side, much of it our fault given we allowed so much flying to move there, but anyways I hope they take that into account and seek out quality FOs (as they did in 07/08) and hire the good ones. Boomer, I'm guessing you'd be a good one.
