The people that stay behind, unfortunately they're too dip into it to make a move or have something in their closet. Including most management pilots and instructors/check airmen. Not generalizing but it's a fact. Most management pilots are scabs. They do have CASS with most airlines. However,u have to be within 2 hours of MIA intl airport. Can't commute. If u want to build 737 time, wrong place for it. U might block 300 hrs a year. U mostly limo or airline everywhere for zero pay. I can keep going on...ask me anything u want. I'll be more than happy to answer any questions. Ohhh almost forgot. I was also and instructor at MAI and got to see the dark side first hand. Don't forget, $18,000 training bond for 737 type for 3 years with literally no flying hours for
