I'm not real worried about getting into a jet right away either I've been offered to move into the jets where I fly as an FO a couple times and turned them down. I like flying props, I like living in Michigan, I'm very familiar with the Great Lakes area, and I like being able to see the ground pass below me from time to time. I also like being in charge, I don't know what all those identifiers are up there, but as far as I know only Mesaba, Chautauqua, and Pinnacle are moving captains up quickly. I DON'T want to be an FO for any length of time.

As for the guy I know they haven't called back, he's like me in that he doesn't want to move or commute, he's worked 135 for quite a while, but he does have abit of a harsh attitude. He's a great guy, but doesn't put off a good first impression, which IMO is probably why he hasn't heard back. I'd like to think I'm alittle easier to get along with.
