Everyone has seen the projections with retirements the majors will be hiring over the next 10 years and it will be steady. Some years will be stronger than others but it will be steady. If you are in a position to get an off the street captain position at another regional best of luck. This is a tenuous position given the rapid changes going on in the regional industry. If you are new to the industry go for QOL and pay. If you live in the Midwest or Northeast 9e is a good option and the future at 9e is looking up. If you come before January 1st by October you will have made an extra 15 k. During this time you will see the evolution of Endeavor and I am guessing you will stick around. Fact is 9e has the best FO pay in the industry through 2016.
