all i'm getting at is that alot of people go to a regional with these delusions of grandeur thinking they're going to be cranking out 100 hrs a month and going all over creation on their overnights...when the reality is when they get their no matter who they are they're going to be sitting by the phone just wishing they could get deadheaded to the middle of nowhere to work a flight back...b/c of this i think a lot of people lose perspective.

i've seen guys who take pride in their flying...i personally like to give passengers a smooth ride and make sure nothing breaks and everyone lives....some guys take it personal when they have a bad landing or don't fly a good approach or what not...and other guys have literally told me they just don't care...

i don't think the regionals take care of their new pilots enough to make it worth getting an ATP anymore...with that a nice corporate gig or maybe goign to a fractional would seem like a better choice....for $21 an hour 900-1200 hours is what their going to get and what they should get...
