Right now at Airshare we are busy and down a few pilots, so yes a lot of us are working 8,9 and some case 10 out of 10. It depends on how you may luck out on your rotation. Sometimes I am doing a lot of day trips and home very night, and then there have been an occasion where I was on the road 8 out of 10.
If you are in your 20’s and the 121 world is what you want then by all means head for the regionals, heck I would. Please remember all the incentives that the regionals are putting out all have a catch to them. They are showing you best case scenario. Remember not all pilots in this world want to go to the airlines.
I would say that a majority of the PIC’s here that have competitive time are applying to the majors, so are corporate guys and regional guys, and when the majors come calling we will all make the move if given the opportunity.
I am not a company cheerleader by any means, so the next time you see an Airshare crew ask them what it is really like here instead of listening or reading post from guys that have never worked here or got denied in the interview. Like I have always said Airshare is not the best place to be but it’s by far not the worst place to be. I have flown with and had some of the best times on the road with guys here, stories that will be told for years.
