There are two types of people that come work for us. Young guys who are eager to make a lot more money than what they would get at a regional carrier, and guys who have bounced from job to job.

This isn't anybody's dream job. Everyone knows that. But for us younger guys, it's a great start and a lot of fun. Where else are you gonna hand fly a 727 on an ILS down to minimums, because you can? Plus, we had a regional pilot come work for us for a bit who said that one of his mileage pay checks was worth more money than 6 months of pay at the regional.

The guys who bounce from job to job, keep bouncing, they never last long. This job is just something to hold them over til the next offer comes in. They seem to think that one day, they will land their dream job.
