I've had a relatively good time at C5.

Now you have to say "mostly everyone".

For at least 1 person, probably 15. Things are mostly OK. And I'm GLAD. It's very difficult to have an OK regional experience.

I'm reasonably happy with my time here.

It all depends on what you are looking out of this company. If your goal is to get 1000 hrs SIC, then upgrade and get 1000 TPIC as soon as possible, this place isn't halfway bad. I started a year after a bunch of other pilots I know, and I'll upgrade about the same time as them.

If you want QoL or a schedule that is family friendly, look elsewhere. If you don't want to get constantly jerked around by scheduling or aren't willing to just consider your days working as 'reserve lite', this isn't the place for you.

Personally, I'm going to hit 1000hrs SIC in 14 months from IOE and 20 months from start (got caught up in the sim backlog late last year/early this year). I know of very few FOs that can say that they built time that fast (and I bid min credit, and picked up at 200-300%. I've never picked up extra time at straight pay here to build time unlike many of my friends).

Bragging about how fast you gained sic 121 time at a mediocre 121 is like bragging about something else similarly embarrassing. Come on. If you went to lakes you'd be a capt. Does that make it ok?

Defend them as an operation. Annnnnd go.

I know friends that got their 121 CA time at Lakes/Silver and moved on. They said it was the best thing they did and moved their career forward by years.

I don't talk to the coworker that got on with XJT, but I think he might be upgrading sometime now. I would be at American today if I got the job with PSA, the bottom feeder of the regionals then...

I traded pay/hours/experience for QoL and it cost me. Never again. If you're not on a major's seniority list, it's time to hustle.

I guess you’d better take some dance lessons... I’m all set. I was being a d!ck and I apologize. No need for that. But come on man, C5?! Bail before you get hosed post merger. Hosed.

Thanks for the update. What do you mean by shuffling of bases?
