C'mon, it's not 2022 or 23. Not sure if that's what recruiting is actually telling people, the rumor mill, or if it's wishful thinking on the forum. I say that as someone who likely has less total time than the median RJ captain and was a beneficiary of that era.
If it makes you feel any better, I paid my dues in other ways...including earning food stamp money, a furlough, a furlough due to shut down, and wandering the IT wilderness for a decade.
