These kids that are obsessed with going to a major especially before even getting to a regional are idiots. Yeah i know i am one to talk because im not in the industry yet. But in all honesty id still rather have SJS than dig ditches. But 60-100k a year fling for a living doesn't sound too bad to me! Before anybody says the whole you don't have the right goals you are whats wrong with the industry blah blah blah. Come on guys, this industry was messed up as it is. It was a bad idea to start regional airlines in the first place and didn't make sense financially. Flame away at my post but thats just how i feel and in America i am at least entitled to my opinion.
