Hear is what I see at RAH. 45 year old captain making $100 an hour getting 16 days a month off and picking his schedule. With the only chance of unemployment being that company has completely shut its doors. Or... Go to Delta/West starting at the bottom, sitting reserve risking furlough, a regional taking the A320 you are flying someday because the company talked the top half of the seniority group into it with something that would benefit them or you in 20 years.

One guy had a good analogy, put an add in the paper to work 3 days a week and get paid $120K a year, how many resume's would you expect. RAH has had explosive growth over the last 7 years, there are many hear feeling the golden handcuffs. It's not the best paying but to many it pays enough. Sometimes enough and a great quality of life is all it takes to be a regional lifer.
