You guys are right. I appreciate the honest and straight forward advice. As for your comment:
I understand what you are saying. I really have no doubt that I will be a great airline pilot. I'm certainly not arrogant, I am very teachable, and I do have a very positive work history and a drive for excellence. My only concern is that there MIGHT be factors outside of my control (ie the market, etc) that might make it more reasonable to stay with a great regional. One day at a time. Wherever I get hired next, my philosophy will be the same as it is right now - if I do my best where I am at, then reputation and benefits are the natural results.
Thanks again guys. Feel free to keep moving my thinking out of the box!!
I don't doubt you're "teachable" and have a positive work history. I know it's hard to stay positive, especially in today's environment - however, don't worry about things you can't change. Do your best, apply EVERYWHERE once hiring resumes and let others decide if they should hire you or not.
If they do, great!
If not, try again and again...
Persistence does pay off but worrying usually does not... I think you get my point.
Good luck to you, a few years from now you'll be glad you decided to give it a shot!
