What I think people are struggling to get at, myself included, is why the disparity? Sure we have a more senior group that is likely not trying as hard as a more junior group like Compass. Is that the only reason though?

The senior guys are not going anywhere because either 1) they’re too qualified with TT, essentially “stagnant” in the eyes of mainline recruiters posing a training risk for them (great thread somewhere on here about this) or 2) they simply have no need too. YX is a GREAT regional for a “lifer,” especially if you have a spouse and kids. Would I be willing to place my career in the hands of any regional though? Absolutely not!!
JetBlue has swept up RAH pilots for years. They have actually stated to new hires that they like the way our pilots are trained. Whatever that means... but it’s a plus for the company.
As far as mainline, it could be we have less people putting in the effort, it could be luck of draw, nobody knows unless we can compare ALL regional pilots to one another. I wouldn’t blame the name though.
