boilerup your probably right most peoples schedules probably do suck. My point is why would you want to commute to these east coast cities with uncommutable schedules. There doesn't seem to be a great regional out there these days so my advice is pick on that is where you would want to live or one that is easy to commute to. I think the current airwilly domicles are some of the worst cities i have ever seen to commute too. ORF terrible.. PHL is always delayed. DCA just not enough destinations to go to from there.. although the most reliable city to commute to for delays.
There isn't a airline around that has dropped there hiring requirements as much as airwilly if they are in fact hiring people with 25 hours multi.... 7 years ago you would need 1500 multi just to get a sniff. My new hire class had only 1 person who was not previously employeed at another 121 carrier. I could have gone to any other regional with those times. In fact airwilly was my first choice but at the time i only had 1800 hours with 750 multi. I had to go to American Eagle for 2 years in order to get hired at air willy. How times have changed. Apparently airwilly just isn't the first choice for as many pilots today, for various reasons. It has gone from the best to a average airline and it is apparent because people now leave airwilly to go to other regionals.

I am happy for those who decided to move there families to the east but obviously i was one of the hundreds that got displaced. In my case displaced 4 times in 6 plus years. I hope for those that remain that history WON'T be repeated. My reason for leaving was simple i don't believe this current mgmt or ownership has any plans to keep running this airline, unless they receive a higher profit then the industry dictates today. Everything was being done on a shoe string budget, never enough money in there pockets. "When i listened to the CEO tell me we didn't get any of the RFP's because my 401k was 3 percent higher than the competion then that was the last straw.
