I can’t tell you how many guys I talked with who really believe that when they get 1000 pic turbine, they would/will be snatched up at FedEx just like they were at skywest. Then I talk to guy's (plural) who have been sponsored by a fedex pilot, done the meet and greet have 4000+ pic turbine and have yet to get an interview.
Those aforementioned pilots want nothing to do with making skyw or our industry a better place, only to get their pic time any way possible and step on as many backs as it takes.
Then you have guys whose wives make good money or are trust fund babies who have no intention to improve our industry, they just worry about themselves period.
100% true!!! When I went from the 120 to the RJ at SKW there were 9 or 10 CA's doing the same thing. I asked some of them how much PIC time they had, most were over there 1000. They all said the same thing, "I can't get a interview anywhere". All having the 1000 PIC does for you is put you in the same pool as 4000 other RJ CA's out there. I'm not saying wait to upgrade, however, lets make all of our airlines better at the same time. I see lots of me, me, me at SKW. Hell, I'm sure I'm guilty of doing it once in a while.
