Do you have 300 hrs in last year? No? Can you go to a regional for a year then? Yep, six figures right to $400 a week as a first year FO on an aircraft I already had a PIC type and 3500 hrs in.

I asked.... is integrity a core value? But you want me to train on a regional's dime for 200 hours. Answer- do you want a class date or not? Uh, since I resigned my job when I passed phase II only to be told go to a regional I guess I'll suppress my morals since my family is accustomed to living indoors.

Watched 7 military guys in my interview group of 8 get the TBNT because of recency. 2 were at AA six months later.
