They may have had SFS ( shiny flow syndrome) but def. not SJS from the people I have spoke with. Anyways when's hiring going to start again?
Exactly, most of my coworkers as well as myself have flown CRJ's or ERJ's for carriers that laid us off or went out of business. We know the issues, we have FO's that spent 7+ years in the right seat (I'm on year 8), and no one here came for the shiny plane.
We laugh when someone calls us a 'transitional jet' or 'real airplane' on the radio...because we think it's silly. We are just underpaid pilots like everyone else.
