The fact you worked at RAH, was hired with low time, upgraded to Captain, got your time there and moved on to DAL then turn around and spit on all those here really shows your nature. You'll get yours sooner or later. Everything you rant about his is completely contradictory to the actual choices you've made in real life. [edit:delete flamebait].
I had over 1200 hours when I started at Chautauqua. If 1500 hours was a hard minimum, I would have started less than a year later. I wouldn't call me that low time compared to other pilots hired after me at Chautauqua. When I started at Chautauqua, my goal was to quit and move on to a major as fast as possible. Chautauqua was a 50-seat jet stepping stone. I had some good timing, but I also took every single opportunity given to me. There are numerous pilots at Republic who have never even filled out an application, and then they ***** that UPS, Southwest, and FedEx are not hiring the best candidates. [edit:delete flamebait] I hate ALPA, but when it comes down to it, I would never back-stab a fellow pilot. I pay my dues though and follow company policy. I'm a good employee. If something bad comes my way career-wise, I'll laugh about it. If that's the worst thing that happens to me in life, big deal. All I care about is my family. I can support them in other ways outside flying. I can't support them long-term in a $37/hour airline job.
