It is so sad to see a fellow aviator berate props. I'm sure the C130 pilots would have a word or two for you.

Props have their place, just as pistons and turbo jets have their place. If you cannot see that, well, you just aren't that smart.

You are at an age where IF you move on to a mainline, you will almost certainly NOT make CA before retirement.... especially if you spend ANY time at a regional. If you don't believe that, do a search and look for the age 65 retirements at the mainlines over the next twenty years.

I tried to present a non-partisan forecast of what your life would be like at GoJet. I stated no opinions about what some consider the evil of GoJet. I only offered the advice I would give a friend who was my age and had to make a jump. I believe my theories on what would happen if there were a paramilitary or financial attack are plausible. And all of my statements on pay and contracts can be backed up. The only negative I stated against GoJet was that they fly jets rather than props: jets being the territory of mainlines while props have historically been regionals. Additionally, since you said you didn't like to be away from home for weeks on end, I suggested props since they offer more time at home (remember the old saying: bigger plane, bigger suitcase).

You may not like what I said, but I would bet paychecks if you ask folks who have been around a while if my post was reasonable, they would say yes.

I don't care if you heed my advice, but don't insult me for offering it.
