Let's see

Golden years? Ask the guys from any past decade how golden their years were. Furloughs used to be a seasonal event. The Seventies were very similar to the last ten years, plus two fuel crisis. I knew guys from the Fifties who spent years waiting for captaincy, only the mid to late sixties hiring upgraded them.

"Historic" times at regionals?

There is no history of regionals on the present scale, so how is it historic?

RJ pilots kill me with their tales of woe. I hope they realize without the RJ plane and RJ jobs, 17,000 pilots likely wouldn't even be airline pilots in the last 15 years.

OP

Get a degree, look into a Reserve or ANG UPT slot. OR ask yourself where you are going to get that first 1500 hours you are assuming.
