5 time faliures at the regional interview level in a market that has been flat out desperate for the last 5 years (not including the last few months), don't say much about your survival in the back of that tube if he is.
I give you 50/50 odds at best.
The regionals have not been desperate for the last 5 years. When I was hired there was 1 "west coast" jet regional hiring. It was my first and only attempt as was for my compadres. BTW 11 United/US Air furloughs were new hires in my class they have since moved on as they had the time. And no I was not MAPD I flew single pilot IFR in a piece of .... before MESA, college degree, no failed rides, polished shoes, clean record etc. etc. So don't tell me about leftovers. Get off your friggin high horse and accept the fact that timing has alot to do with where a person ends up.
