The contract we were all but promised to be voting on by end of first quarter 2015 seems to be coming to a screeching halt from the last few union email updates. There are so few pilots, I cant drop trips or trade for different trips in open time. I truly understand the meaning of not having cancellation pay after these last few months of winter. I really blame no body but my self. I initially focused my search on a regional airline that has a NYC/PHL base however, with Shuttle I've been having to commute anyway. So I am going to ask the million dollar question that 100 other people asked on this site. I know all regionals are basically the same. I've played in this game and the part 135 charter game for a while, however is there a regional that's looking like its going to be the place to be in the next few months, upgrades, good pay, flow, etc? Or should I go back to flying corporate charter? Again, this was a mistake I made and I am not looking to flounder here for years. Thanks
Just go anywhere besides Republic and I'm sure you will instantly feel like there's no better place to be (even though its not true) coming from Republic. If you have the 1000 SIC time then to to PSA or TSA for the quick upgrade.
