This was my point. People think coming here will make them more marketable so that they do get that call??
I was just trying to make a point for those that are looking at coming to Miami Air to make sure they do their homework before they sign on the dotted line here. Coming here is not necessarily the best move for some if they are looking to go to the big boys after here. Guys are leaving left and right for a reason- and it's not because they love working here.
(
When a company looses top level employees in all departments, that should say something about "sinking ship").
We've had a couple guys go to the legacies from here, but it seems they all had connections of some sort. The majority of guys leaving are throwing in the towel with this place and are leaving for places like Spirit, Frontier, jetBlue or even regionals. Both Captains and First Officers have had enough! Considered a "lateral" move in the past maybe, yet when you talk to them now it's a HUGE step UP from life at Miami Air today. That should tell you how things are here from the outside. The massive hiring they are trying to do now is to compensate for the huge group of guys who left after having had enough of this place.
Just do your homework before you come here. You won't get rich, you won't build time, and you will spend a lot of time deadheading around the world/country fatigued.
One of my favorite things I've heard here over the years... "I'm tired of being tired!"
