2. The industry will suck ass and we will all be in the same boat as 08 again, in which case the flow will be worthless.
So I guess my questions are, am I seeing this correctly and if not, what do you think the requirements for a main line will be? I am working on a degree and will finish for my own satisfaction, but there are lots of guys I know that are not even bothering with it, hoping to god that the demand is high enough that they won't be needed.
Anyway, just some brainstorming. So far all the help has been great and I sincerely appreciate the time some of you have taken to help me. This feels like a really big decision between Skywest and Envoy.
Dude, you exhibit the classic signs of the millennial generation. All these threads have been answered many times, many times. Just search. I want it all right now or preferably yesterday. Nobody here, unless their dad is a mainline CA, had their initial plan workout in this industry. It is totally unpredictable. So many things have to right for you to endup where you're dreaming about now.
Don't look at it from the point of view of what will get me to mainline, you will be miserable. Enjoy the journey, look at it from the point of view what will make you happy today not some theoretical flow. The flow is only good for the guy that is flowing next month not you. So much will change, go for the airline that you actually want to fly not because they promise something.
