Ouch....being at one of those wholly owned I can’t even take offense to that and agree entirely that it’s disappointing to not require a degree even if it’s just a 2 year.

With that being said, I hope I’m not highjacking (sorry for the poor term) this thread by asking a few other questions.....I originally signed on to the wholly-owned for the I originally signed on to the wholly-owned for the true flow as I’ll be 55 next year and I felt it was important to get 10 years in somewhere. after flying non-rev a few times and seeing how almost useless it is at times, I don’t think that it’s worth it to stay there just for that reason. The flow is probably anywhere from 4 to 6 years depending on attrition. I could stay there, upgrade this year, and get in as a check instructor to pave the resume. Where I could jump ship in the spring and go to frontier, make more money and have more than 12 days off than 12 days off per month. I guess my question is would that be a bad move? Is frontier a kiss of death to get into a legacy? Right now I only have 3000 hrs TT, 600 turbine, Right now I only have 3000 hours, 600 turbine pt 121, G200 and E145 type, cfi/II and the 4 year degree with a 3.0 gpa. My plan at this point is to do whatever I can to get out and meet people at as many job fairs as I can, keep saying involved; Just can’t really afford to make any mistakes along the way as far as the wrong moves. Only have 10 years left unless of course the age moves to 67. Any of just can’t really afford to make any mistakes along the way as far as the wrong moves. Only have 10 years left unless of course the age moves to 67. Any and all insight is appreciated
