True.
It really sucks.
And somehow the real crap regionals have managed to staff. It’s not like the crap places are canceling flights. They made it through the ‘shortage’ just fine.
And they are taking flying away from all the decent places.
At least some regionals have a real flow through. I have no idea how the ones with only a guaranteed interview are staffing, but they are.
It sucks. Go anywhere and get an Airbus or 737 type. Maybe if that place isn’t a career destination, it will provide the experience for a place that is.
Don’t waste more time (unless you are very close to retirement.). Bail.
You will be glad you did.
