What G7, Compass and TSA all need is to also be bought by United, clearing the way to be included in the merger. As long as TSH is a thing I’d steer way clear.

Then after a couple thousand hours move on to a real airline. You know, show a little fortitude, send out some applications. Study up for some interviews. Be a man.

2. What do you have against these people finishing out their last 10 years as senior regional captains?
3. You hit the jackpot on timing in this business. Have a little understanding for those who didn’t have as good a luck.
