And even then you’re still ahead career wise from a guy hired 1992-2006 who all had to do over 11-20 years to flow to AA. and you’re doing it without having to do 4000+ hours in beech 1900’s first.
See, It’s all relative.
I do agree that much of the torture at ENY could easilly be fixed by having a management that wanted to be partners in building a successful airline rather than task masters each trying to outdo the other to gain recognition by getting more from their fellow employees.
When guys flow or move up anywhere else they’ll realize how poor the management really was. It’s amazing working at places where you really are made to feel like a valued contributor and partner rather than a tool to be used, abused, threatened and beaten.
The pilot shortage really ramps up starting this year. Mainline, legacy jobs will start hiring like crazy. You’re losing monthly 29 to flow and 26 to other airlines currently. Expect that “to other airlines” to grow by a third and then by 2020 to outright double.
