There are still thousands of Regional CAs that want out and have tons of PIC time with other qualifications like; Check Airmen, Volunteering, Educations, etc. Its still going to be competitive for the next three to five years.
While i'm not trying to disagree with you going for the quick upgrade. I would do that same if I was in your guy's shoes, looking for growth. Its not going to be super easy to just "get out" whenever you please.
Words of wisdom there! The only goal should be upgrade so you are at least making a little bit of money. Its fairly easy to take the first step with a regional job but to step up from that is a crapshoot...winners and losers, always in the houses favor. Hiring is by no means because of attrition to the majors. Seems to me more CA's and FO's go corporate than major.
Facebiter, for once I liked one of your posts!
