And all you guys that are so smug because you got hired with a "good" regional when you had 400 hours and 25 multi can have a little respect for those of us who didn't get so "lucky". A lot of you guys cracking jokes never had to work at a flight school at all. People like me that are going to the interviews have instructed for several years. After 1100 hours in a Cessna 172 and over 500 hours in light twins, there isn't anything else that can help my career but turbine time. People like me have paid our dues and still have YEARS to wait for ExpressJet, Skywest, ASA, etc. Might as well get some turbine time while I wait. More recip time won't help much once you meet the hours for ATP.
Ya... might as well get some turbine time and put more downward pressure on wages on QOL at the airlines. Stick with your CFI job and be patient. I instructed for five years before I got on at a regional. I also worked jobs outside of flying while I instructed to pay the bills. Colgan is a scumbag operation. There's a reason they're calling CFI's and not one of the many furloughed and experienced 121 guys out there right now.
