Not another RAH 190 thread...this is getting old and tiring.

Anyone who thinks they will be mainline pilots...think again. Look at our current situation. All the majors have pilots on furlough and even if you managed to squeak your way in, plan on being a FO for the rest of your career. Your only hope is to get a good schedule as a reserve in a base you want.

If RAH management wants 190s why should the pilots there fight against bettering their situation and refusing the 190s? That is just plain dumb. I have friends that left XXX regional for XXX major this last hiring stint and they are out of jobs now. They were CAs at the regional making $70k+, went to mainline and back to FO pay $30k+ and now they have nothing.

American? don't count on it
Delta? maybe...
United? forget it!
Continental? no health for 6 months...$30/hr...no way
US Air? Ha! Better off where your at.

Times are changing and we haven't seen the worst yet.
