You're right. I'm sure many regional carriers will be excited to take a guy that jb trained. they can apply that signing bonus to the jb debt and be free and clear. (not sarcasm unfortunately)
HA! JB's new hiring slogan! We train the best RJ drivers in the business.
Pre trained in CRM and EBM systems knowledge.
Some will probably upgrade at DAL before guys here ever see the left seat of the bus.
