I feel that most of us at the regional level would love to fly something larger than a 90 seat rj (hey, im in a 34pax T-prop so no disrespect to the rj drivers) but lets face it the only way to get on with a major is through years of hard work and gaining experience, I just wish the Regionals were the same (not as strict of course) I know of no "bridge" program to CAL's 737 or Southwests, its all about paying our dues and working long miserable days and getting screwed by crew scheduling. So when these people come out of some program with 500hrs and they feel they have earned themselves a job flying 121, they need to get a grip!.... and to the post above that said I was "angry" it's not anger, Im just trying to understand, and i meant no offense to anybody.
Hey SAAbaroowski,
When did you interview and get hired? I was there Nov 18 for an interview. I am kind of curious as to how some like it there. I thought it was a pretty good operation just long flying days and no per diem was kind of a turn off for me but, I would have taken job if it was offered.
