He is chasing that "quick upgrade". The point I keep trying to get across to new pilots in the industry: whats more important to you? Would you rather get to a major in 3 years and have no money, barely be able to afford housing, not married ect....or would you rather get to a major in 5 or 6 years, have a house, wife, kids, ect. I take option 2 myself. This same guy who took the job at Colgan actually said that they couldn't pay him to fly that "cramped" ERJ around (refering to me) and that he's glad he's on the spacious Q400. The funny thing is he'll be making around 18K this year flying 76 seats, I've been here 4 years and made 50K flying 50 seats. I guess the aircraft size is all that matters......lol are you kidding? I actually have a life (wife, house, ect.) I'd rather stay here 5 more years and enjoy life before moving on rather than live on food stamps in my one bedroom apartment asking for an advance on the rent but hey, I got to mainline in less than 5 years. Come on people, flying isn't everything! There is more to life, trust me.
