There I hope that can shead the FACTS to some people. If you are looking for a quick upgrade....well behind a prop you might find it...elsewhere you better just keep on looking because right now even the ERJ is taking 2.5 years and the last bid actually displaced some CA's back to F.O.
I myself have been a Captain here for over a year and I think I am about to take my T-PIC and head for another regional while I wait for that all important phone call. I really don't know why someone wouldn't walk out the door the day that HR told them they were even going to the jet. When I interviewed I told them if they put me on the jet I would get up and walk out of class. I knew then like the rest of you know now that the quick PIC wasn't there. So please help us out in shutting this place down just like you would any other sweat shop
