First off, please don't take this as condescending or demeaning, but this really shows there is a lack of understanding at the CFI / pre regional level.

I know most of you guys are wrapped up in teaching international students and dreaming about ditching the cessna for a jet, we've all been there. But please take the time to educate yourselves on what is going on at the regionals. Don't listen to the B.S. propaganda your flight school dishes out.

Someone on here took the time to start a stop the whipsaw movement. Another took the time to build a site called "the truth about the profession." The Truth About the Profession - Home

Do your self a favor and do some research. Look at every company closely and weed out the ones that are looking to bring this industry down even further.

Oh, I know all about the STW movement. I am also very familiar with "The Truth About Profession." I have been watching this industry for quite some time now. Also, PBS's Frontline did a great documentary about the industry after Colgan 3407.

The was really was no context given in the original post w/ the picture. I completely get it, no lack of understanding on my part. However, sadly I can't say the same for the majority of my CFI co-workers.

I recently had a conversation with a co-worker about what regionals he was targeting to get on with. We both know a few people at Commutair, he stated that he really wasn't considering them, instead he wanted to focus on XJET, and RAH because "They have jets". I didn't say anything, but needles to say, I really wanted to say "Dude, ***, really?" It's a shame.

As a CFI w/ 1,200 hrs. I will be the first to admit that I absolutely have SJS. Warming the right seat of a C-172 doing touch n' gos for 6 hrs a day is really starting to wear on me. However, although I do have SJS, I won't let it get the best of me and cloud my judgement. I've made it a point to read up on current contracts, and am keeping a very close on on things now (PSA).

So, all that being said...any advice for me, as I am looking to start job searching for a regional in the next 6 months or so?
