Are people like you and him from the same planet as the rest of us? Is there some kind of a paradox happening here? I mean, I have nothing against XJT cause I am sure it's a great place with a great pilot group but what I do have a problem with is the miseducation of a person who is just about to walk in there - and stagnate when there's a plethora of other regionals that will have you holding a line in a matter of months and getting the chance to get the $70/hour pay within 1.5-2 years. I just don't get it.
