Thank you.
Often people will use a public computer, such as in ops, and forget to log out. People may intentionally make a comment using the other person's sign-in or may start reading and when making a comment forget that he was not the person who signed in. My buddy has taken my computer and made some comments. He thinks he's funny. No matter what, it is all one person's opinion or beliefs. Facts can be misstated, misunderstood or even wrong. Everyone should use what is on here as things to consider and should be investigated. Also, people may be responding to given facts A, B, and C and given those his opinion is X. If he is given facts B,C, and D instead he may have a different opinion.
People also need to throw in some common sense. Why would an airline that is not growing, be hiring street captains? When I interviewed at Skywest there were 7 interviewing and 3 were at American Eagle. That said a lot about Eagle. There is one airline who has just over 1000 pilots but which has hired over 1000 pilots this year. Isn't that 100% turnover? Where are they coming from and why are they coming? Where are they going and why are they leaving so quickly? Contact people who are no longer at an airline if you want a better chance of getting the truth. Beware Stockholm Sydrome response where someone is happy to have gotten out and is relieved. Reputation would be number one to me in choosing a good company to work for. I bet is somebody asked who the worst 2 regional jet airlines in the US are, that 90% of the people would have the same response.
