Granted... I am referring more to the previous few years. I know a lot of you guys went through your own hardships during your time in my shoes. But I dare say more jobs were probably offering more hours than 40 p/month. It can't have always been this way, or else how did everyone get where they are? And my post was a bit of a gripe (I'm frustrated, I'll admit it), but what I'm getting at is this: If it has become this difficult for low-timers like myself to find a job that offers time or money (and I have a lot of quality time for my TT... 185ME, 15Turb, 95CxC, almost 100IFR) ... how are the regionals even going to get by the next few years? I just don't see how they aren't going to have to park planes or start training programs of their own.
