For those bottom Captains about to get displaced, what’s yall plans, commute, or downgrade to avoid commuting?
Honestly, many 91/135 won't take you because of the DUI, as they constantly go into Canada, and unfortunately Canadians aren't friendly to pilots with DUIs. Same goes for the big 3. Southwest may be your best bet, but don't think they're hiring at the moment. I would echo the advice of others to stay in the left seat, continue to build the PIC time as you commute to your new base, and keep updating your apps. GL
