BoilerUP,
I’d agree with the stagnation story UNTIL I met many corporate jet guys who learned to fly during the last 15-20 years, got jobs (admittedly in the NYC area) flying bizjets and never looked back. They were making pretty big money and working while others were beotching about stagnation. Yes, if you were hired at a regional, all excited to be a wet commercial with 251 hours flying a jet, stagnation meant you didn’t get the 767 seat you thought you deserved. Others worked on their careers, improved their resumes, and did well.
