17 years ago a Capt. I was flying with told me the hardest thing about going to a great commuter airline is leaving. I left flying the metro for a 135 co. and went to Continental Express to fly the 1900. Upgrade was quick a and the experience and people were great. It was a fantastic place to work, but I keept moving. If you don't plan on making a carrer out of a commuter or getting rich I think GL is the best way to get a jump start on this crazy carrer.
I have been a Capt. at Frontier for 11 years and flown with many exlakers. I have always had the highest confidence in there ability to fly the airplane.
