I do know there are very experienced people who want to work at F9, and that there are many of those people getting hired, and on the flip side - many who can't get the call for some reason. My post was mostly regarding those who don't really want to stay. Why would they leave an RJ captain position to start all over if their goal isn't to be there for the long term? I didn't mean, "why would any RJ captain" want to go.
I dont understand... A regional CA basically needs to live on FO pay because you never know when the whipsaw will be at your paycheck next.
Your asking why a guy in that position after sometimes 10 years worth of abuse and neglect to not jump to a growing company with new aircraft on order just because they don't know if they are planning to make it a career or not?
