Thanks Clickclickboom. I was sooo tempted to even as for you response by name... You have had a lot of presence on this forum and to some, not so welcome but I see the honesty in your writing. It's extremely hard to get a feel for who to trust and what to believe and I'm about to pull my hair out. Good thing is my wife and I know where the end game is and that life will get better. If someone feels that a pilot getting in at this time won't get a couple thousand hours in about three to five years and be looking desirable to the majors, please chime in. But for now, as long as Skywest isn't in complete disarray, I'd like to bite the bullet now, knowing that in 6 months I will be above at least 300+ guys.
