When I thought that I was set to join the regionals as a FO back in the late 80's two things happened
Eastern and Panam closed shop and I had a family
This resulted in my having to compete with 25000+ very qualified pilots for the same position I was applying for and I started a family
As some of you may know, back then, it was really hard to put food on the table with the very low pay and the horror stories that were being told about working for the regionals at the time.
I, therefore, opted to uproot and move to Europe and the middle East to seek employment.
Now, 19 years later, with the boys having been set on their way (21 and 25), and having heard of the restriction imposed by FAR 117, the general Pilot shortage, new requirements for R-ATP minimums from 14 C.F.R. § 61.159 and § 61.160. why is it that I am having a hard time getting interests from Regional Airlines?
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one
Any ideas?
