And not everyone needs to go to a regional to end up at FDX, UPS, SWA, etc.
true, no argument there at all, but adding a trip to UPS or FEDEX is completely beyond the point, going to an airline now when times are bad, pay for a jet training class......etc.
it is a true mystery getting hired alot of places. at the point some of these guys are at and trying to decide to go or not to go, training or teach, it must be an individual choice, I just hope these guys/gals make decisions best for themselves.
Like LeoSV said, if you are young and don't mind low pay at first and can eat ramen noodles, then go for it. or not.
..and my comments are not an argument, just comments and an opinion, maybe advice in a way, that's all.
