Yes, but it's this way everywhere. Even JetBlue, but they don't have any retirements to ease the pressure off the top.

Welcome to DTW or MSP here....

I'd take that deal every month...

Heck I'd be willing to donate 90% of my flight time logging (gotta stay current for a major at least).

As I've been saying, if you want (are willing to accept) New York, this isn't that bad of an option... if you want DTW or MSP as a captain (ATL is still being felt out as it's currently only a new 200 base)... You will likely get there faster by being hired at another regional then, if needed, an LCC or mainline airline than waiting for a captain seat here in those bases.

OTS hire at a legacy or LCC such as WN or F9 would be even better.
WN no longer deserves the LCC status... They are the 4th "legacy passenger airline at this point" Endeavor would be a good option for someone in your shoes not looking for career progression... Get your base and take the bonus money. Apply to the LCC's that fit your bases (heck any legacies that do as well)

On 17-02 DTW Captain (200) went as low as someone hired November 2014... That's 2.5 years from hire date to DTW captain. The alternate went as low as someone who has been hear a year and 8 months. Stop exaggerating the wait for DTW. If you want to just talk about the 900 that's a different story, but 200 captain in DTW is easily attainable.

That's how I introduce myself, I'm a proud Millennial because I can't change it and I don't cry when you yell at me or give me pointers. This job is pretty easy for a new hire. 60K and 16 days off 6 months in.

Yea I feel the same way. Stop making it easier for top guys to never ever leave. I get things happen in life but no one NO one should be at a regional more then 10 years.

The argument about DTW and MSP stagnation is moot as there really isn't an alternative right now. Skywest at DTW being the exception - for now.

MSP flying has shrunk from mainline through all the regionals. Fact of life.

Makes the argument of living in base vs. commuter less than clear cut. At least commuting gives you some flexibility in these situations.

...or people move to the base with movement. Like what happens at any other job...
