Don't write off the cargo haulers just yet. I left the ERJ side after 19 years to a purple carrier, and I'm loving it! For the first time in years, I actually enjoy going to work again. Night Hub turns do hurt. But it is short term. There is flying for everyone, Day, Night, International, Round the world, etc.

As for training, yes, not only do you have to learn a new way of doing things, but you also have to forget the XJT way! That was a little tough, but CAN be done.

Good Luck getting out.
