If I had 1000hrs of jet PIC time today I honestly dont know where I would go. FedEx? SWA? It takes a lot more than turbine PIC to get into those places. Maybe CAL? But you can get into CAL without turbine PIC. Airtran? Sure, fly around a widebody 717 RJ and be based in ATL. The ****ed off people here at Eagle are the ones who are right on the verge of upgrade, 6-8yr seniority. Everyone else I have met out of 3000 pilots are generally in good spirits.
Wow! Six to eight years to upgrade at a regional? That is insulting, regardless of the size of the outfit. Actually, someone calling Boeing's DC-9 an RJ is insulting enough.
