how much time did you get at national to rise above the masses and what kind of PIC time do you have. just curious
why do you think I am a regional pilot. I've never stated who I worked for on this board. I might be at a major or then again I may actually work at a regional...
In past posts I thought that you stated that you were a newly graduated UND guy.
As you know many here view the regional at similar to a LCC. Every RJ displaces a 737 at a major airline. You are fooling yourself if you think any different.
As for the LCC job, a big jet beats out an RJ on any day. There are thousands of active and flying regional captains. Stand in line at a job fair and you will see what I mean. If I were to have made it to the left seat of the 757 I would have been a made man. As a regional captain I had a one in three chance at best.
