I really enjoy flying with new hires and I didn’t forget where I came from. I just have a problem listening to people who struggle to fly talk about how they should be an airline captain yesterday just cause they’ve been 8 months on property.
I guess we just disagree.

Anyone wondered whether expressjet is really that bad should read through this entire thread. Twice. And then hit themselves in the face with a tack hammer until they lose consciousness.
Those are bad ideas..... Going to expressjet at this point is a worse idea.
