So if you go to mesa you will be there for ever, and chances of a upgrade are entering the willy wonka zone. Thats reality so dont try to dress this pig up. That being said if you would rather do some 121 flying with 10 days off a month, by all means go for it, just expect to also be on the street very shortly.
Dude you missed the point!
I agree there are a plethora of highly qualified guys on the street furloughed right now, but I said nothing about upgrades or quick pic turbine time...
the whole thread was about making your own decision. Further more you don't need turbine pic to go to a major buddy and I have plenty of examples I can give you to back that one up. So back to what I was saying its about making the best decision for you and not living someone's dream off of a thread that holds no weight. My mentor (a UPS MD-11 Capt) once said "If it's for you, then do it!" and that's all I'm passing on.
