day after day i flew with Piedmont captains that told me to, "get the hell out of here," and "call my son at chatauqua, this place is going nowhere."
i feel as though the writing has been on the wall at that place for a while, just curious why you didnt bail earlier to another regional. skywest and republic were hiring in droves back in 07.
And I was one of them hired back then. Still sitting in the right seat...nobody's moving up anywhere for a while. To the original poster. 2012...that's when I bet things will get moving again. Might take a couple of hiring waves before us current regional FO's can move on to the majors though, a heck of a lot of highly experienced regional CAs out there that will move up first. I'm right there with you....very tired of barely getting by.
