How long did it take you to upgrade and how many hours of TPIC did you log while you pulled into mainline gates flying hub to hub? Did you non rev on mainline with your family? Are you part of a flow up to Delta? Are you gonna take all that PIC time and interview with any other airlines?

Sorry to bring this up again..but I just don't buy this "poor RJ captain" crap..and I will remind everyone whenever I hear this BS sob story..especially from potential new hires.

Apparently, one pilot actually pulled out his DCI badge and said "I get a job" when the interview went downhill. He was wrong.

But I'm sure if a rejected candidate just says "life goes on, man", they'll get over it a lot faster than 1310 of us got over our furlough.

You should have a great career if you get hired at the front of the wave.
