Not for me. Tried leaving, then things stopped after 9/11 so I put things on the back burner. Called back to active duty. Came back. Been trying for over 5 years to leave. So probably been trying to leave for the first four and the last five.

It sure is cute how a lot of folks these days think all of us just stayed at regionals for a long time because we were lazy.

9-11 broke a big one off in our asses. Then age 65.

So yeah..... We were just lazy.

Don't fret to much, they think the same thing about new hires. "Why haven't you applied to mainline yet" "why'd you go to xxx and now ual/dal" they still think the regional are full of ppl who are there because we have DUIs or bad records.

I feel especially bad for the "lost decade" guys. The lost decade kept me out of 121. Hooray 135 slavery.

I never said lazy. Plenty of people made choices for QOL and such....and now that it’s not working out, feel they are owed a mainline opportunity. Not ALL of the super senior people, but let’s not pretend that’s not the case for a vast number. Anybody who was here for 19 years, continuously.....had a few opportunities to leave. In Blackhawk’s case, it sounds like the active duty caused a snag. As for those who made choices for QOL......that’s their right, and I don’t begrudge them. I have little kids, and i totally get the decision to have a better schedule. Now that the walls are crumbling, those same folks don’t get to claim their number and go to the head of the line. Ar least it doesn’t seem like the Majors feel that way. I could be wrong.

God damn us for having personal lives and thinking we only needed to apply when the window was open and the time was right. God damn us all to hell for getting stuck here for so long we developed Stockholm Syndrome and were late to the application party.

When can you take the Hogan?
 
How soon are you able to take the Hogan? Can you take it (if you want) before Indoc (like C5 allows)?

From what I've heard, Hogan's aren't being issued right now. Supposedly, they're revamping the process.

Revamping as in the sequence and timing with taking the exam, or revamping as in eliminating the Hogan and implementing a new system for CPP?

It's anyone's guess at this point, but United has been looking at ways to enhance the program. We will see.
