Tony, Don,

Times have changed. You guys seem to be evaluating my statements based on your current situation and past personal experiences. My guess is that the both of you started flying in the 1980's.

The situation today is very different. New pilots do not have the same opportunities and will not enjoy the same return as you guys have. My suggestion is that you take a moment to consider where you would be if you were to be applying to your airlines today with the resume you had when you got hired.

The market is flooded with RJ kid captains. It is not enough to have jet PIC anymore. Competition is fierce and truly good opportunities are scarce.
