My tenure has been much like Airsupport's- Just about half a year shorter. I do not feel I have "wasted" any part of my life but I do wish I had gone elsewhere when I started. Just as Airsupport said about negotiations when he showed up I came when we had started mediations and was thinking things would be wrapped up soon after I arrived. At this point I am a few months away from going to upgrade so I am a bit hesitant to leave. I am here for the TJPIC time! I will say that as soon as I get that 1000-1200 TJPIC I am out of here. I don't care if its a pay cut to fly a BE90, I am gone unless things improve. I do not recommend for anyone to come here at the moment. This company has soo much potential and a great pilot group but with mgmt twisting our arms with the current contract and total stupidity the employees and customers are the only ones who suffer.

I am sorry for your 6 month loss professionalpilot. As far as the mentor program it is designed for the more senior FO's who came in low time. You need at least 1300 at PNCL so you would need to be here about a year and a half (I just now have about 1300 and bid 55ish in MEM out of 230ish). I wish you the best on wherever you go.
