Commute air was a good option 6+ months ago not anymore. People who left for Commute air are coming back to XJT

Now that’s some funny stuff. You should do stand-up comedy. Hilarious.

Either way, any person who leaves a regional for another regional, only to go back to the previous regional is a poor example of “good decision making.” Maybe we should all follow them...

No harm, no foul. No CommutAir pilots going to XJT. Just sayin’.

As far as flow/staple. Talk to UAL MeC and while I was in training a year ago 2 pilots were comin back from Commute air

Watch, you have to remember that most of our FO's do not sit reserve very long.

At the interview a few weeks ago they said there adding 40 or maybe 60 145s.
The fact that you said United is giving all of its 145s to Commutair makes what you say suspect. Also, if it were true, that would mean Commutair is quadrupling in size- making it the best place to go.
Bovine scatology aside,
Jacburn: I thanks for the reply. I’ll be living in base but I guess a couple months of airport reserve wouldn’t be bad. Still trying to make this decision.
