I mentioned to one soon to be furloughed FO that read there are street CA positions available at some regionals and his response was “yeah, but I don’t like those bases.”🙄

I think many are looking for a lateral move to an Airbus/737 and that’s mainly fantasy land unless you want to work overseas or some funky Miami based operator. In the end, they are low time and low experience, welcome to the airlines
