Ditto! Not to sound old, but the expectations of the younger are unrealistic. What isn't also realized is that they are eating their own. When they do make a major airline, which they shouldn't for years, they complain that the pay is so low and "this is not what I expected"....well it is because of this mindset that has caused the problem to begin with and most don't even see it.

I sat by a girl who just got hired in 07 by Colgan. She had flown for less than a year, one of the crap schools, and had 400ish hours when hired. I started asking her questions about flying and experience stuff and she was clueless. It took my breath away. Some of the regional guys wonder why I sit in the JS when there are seats in the back?

In addition, the crap schools kicking these guys out are smiling even more, they now have to have even more school time...more money for them.

Hard work and experience never killed too many people.

My opinion only.
