If making a bunch of free money to never work is not your fancy, come fly the CRJ as a new hire, and they'll time you out, and your seniority will progress quickly as long as you're not constantly transitioning to more westerly bases every few months. I'm not joking. I'm serious. I've enjoyed my time here. It has been an excellent career move.
