This you guys need to stop thinking the old way of get your 1000 and you're out. Please please understand there are thousands of us who spent years at a regional most of us are well past 1000 pic turbine and cannot get an interview. You guys who have a newly minted CFII need to understand this. Go to the place that shows the most STABILITY!! Times are getting harder and soon it's going to break a few regionals. You go to them in hopes of that left seat you are going to regret it.
