This is true. I never implied that an airline us survey pilots will be hired by would be the majors. You know as well as I do, that with the current status in today's economy, lots of GLA pilots will transition to other regionals, or corporate, and are not guaranteed a job at the majors. All my three captain friends at GLA are looking for corporate gigs.
My girlfriend's Dad had to go from GLA to AWAC, then to Delta. I know captains at regionals who have been on the waiting list for Southwest for years (a friend of mine has been a captain at AWAC for at least 3 years).
You can't be certain with this industry....at least that we can agree on.
