Isn't it true that with the upgrade at eagle being so long, wouldn't a FO at a regional like Gojet with quick upgrade make it to the majors FASTER than one that works for eagle based on thier CA status?? Am I right on this one?
I read alot of threads in the forum that majors DO hire Gojet pilots, contrary to what alot of other people say on here. Maybe they are just jealous.
Am I right with my question?
Once you acquire 1000 hrs PIC turbine you dont autotmatically get a dream job at a major carrier. I know more people who have gotten hired at majors without 1000 PIC turbine, but have had internal contacts walk their resumes in. I know many many CAs with 5000+hrs PIC turbine and cant get hired anywhere due to no college degree, past driving record problems, etc. What happens when you get to GoJets and cant get hired at a major because of an economic downturn? If you had 1000 PIC turbine today where would you go? CAL/DAL/UAL/NWA/FDX/UPS/SWA have all stopped hiring. How many years before they start again? Nobody knows.
