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
That is exactly what I'm hoping for. I have often thought what regional captain would bail out to go to the majors. Leaving Mesa is one thing, we are almost all trying, but who in their right mind would leave a good regional spot. The only catch is the PIC turbine requirement at mainline will have to modified for the lack of future upgrades.
