OBTW, standing job offer at Pinnacle and numerous Captain offers I had to decline due family. So get off my back, not everyone's in their twenties still getting an allowance from mom and dad. Give me a call when you get 63 missions over Iraq and Bosnia.
Once again, absolutely no offense to regional folks out there. I've just heard of a few companies out there that are offering Captain seats (121) out of training if you do well. That was the original question.
Thanks for your service, man, but you can't expect people on a forum to know your life story after asking one vague question.
If you go into an interview with this attitude of entitlement, you're not going to get anywhere. Don't know what else to tell you, other than you appear to be changing your career plans late in life and expect the industry to conform to your wishes. Good luck with that.
Why would you not try UPS, FDX, or the majors, what with the military experience and all?
