Lets face it its not worth it for me to leave and take seven years to recap my loses and then start to make money again and improve my quality of life. I have kids a house and hobbies that I enjoy, hell if i’m gona sit by the phone for thirty grand more a year just to fly big iron or chase a dream...so you young guys can have your Boeings, your Airbuses and I’ll be just fine flying my little regional jet around with half the year of enjoying my family and friends...not trying to flame bate just my opinion…cheers
So what happens when more and more pilots decide to make a career out of being a regional captain? Eventually won't there be a bottleneck where no one can upgrade especially with one list?
