[QUOTE][My main point is this: If you want to be at a major airline you probably have a better chance at making it there in the next decade than at any other time in history./QUOTE]

Not to argue, but I take it you haven't flown with the 60s boom group. One at EAL was hired, bragged about it, with 200 hours of Luscombe time. Another friend was hired at UA on a cocktail bet--"you're such a hot pilot, bet you can't get hired at an airline". Two weeks later, he was, retired on the -10. Airlines advertised, yes advertised, in Flying for pilots. That will never happen again, especially if Richard Anderson is right and RJs disappear. Bombardier is predicting 600 50-seaters will go.

Good Luck
