Sure, you can pick the company you WANT to work for. Might not happen. But you sure as hell can pick the company NOT to work for.
It seems most of the trashtalkers on here were hired during the hiring boom, and lack any seniority or experience. It's funny when FOs with 250 hours complain about how bad things are. You should have 4 times that in dual given.
I was hired in the mid 90s when things were bad and I flew turboprops at the commuters, not an RJ. I had 4000hrs before I even touched a jet. I also have about 1000hrs dual given. Does that make me NOT a trashtalker in your book? Do I really care? NO.
I have issues when guys go to work for the alter-egos of already low paying (damn near criminal) commuter airlines. IE. no sympathy when they complain about it.
