That is an interesting theory, maybe someone should tell SWA, DAL, FDX, UPS that they need to hire 1000-1500 hour guys to lower their failure rates. (not to be an *ss, but maybe it was those guys, not their times) I not here to start some high/low debate, as this thread is for guys trying to get on and those that have been hired. I am just trying to figure out what is going on. Xelectro I appreciate your input. I am trying to find out if I may get an opportunity or I will be blackballed because I have "too much experience" and I may leave in 3 years when things turn around, just as almost all of those with 3 years in would do to. And who knows maybe I would choose to stay, I am starting to get at an age where hopping around being on the bottom of seniority lists does not make sense.

Thanks for the all the feedback and opinions. Still crossing my fingers for the call.
