I walked one in at ASA. He got hired. It depends on who you walk it in to.
As for those of us at ASA (xjet, yeah, I know), from what I can tell most of us (meaning over 51 %) would rather move on to a major. We realize, however, that recency is one of the criteria for a major, so we stay. Most of the people I talk to are just as concerned that we could be the next Comair, and would help out our Comair brothers and sisters any way we could.
Good luck folks!
