63 cancels - 50 for crew
 

I'm sorry, is the right hand not talking to the left hand at this place. 63 cancels today, 50 of which are for crew. Is this the genius plan...give us flying to just cancel it?

Hopefully soon to be new hire, is it just me or is that significantly more crew cancellations than in the recent past?

Where are you seeing this? Flowboard didn’t look anywhere near that bad yesterday.

Seriously everyone is hiring go somewhere else. Exjet is a dumpster fire

Is a 175 even on property yet?

It was, it certainly isn’t anymore.

It comes straight from the UA web site, SSD. Several due to maintenance as well.

63 cancels? Yeah I’m sure ManAir is happy with those stellar numbers

Its just not you. Its the reality United created all by themselves; get out the pop corn, summer flying is going to be a treat to watch. My 5 cents says they are soo behind the power curve, they never recover.

I'm not at ExpressJet because...
 

I'm not at ExpressJet because I'm living in base somewhere else, but if I was someone just starting out in an ExpressJet base I'd be all over a job with them.

People have got to stop thinking of regional's as a place to spend their careers. Even if the predicted expansion in the need for pilots doesn't come, the legacies are about to go through an unprecedented wave of pilot retirements peaking in about three years.

Where you want to be right now, if you desire a career in the 121 world, is somewhere that they are short of pilots and are going to work your butt off. Someplace that will get you through training promptly and get you out on the line, that will get you a line, and then fly your butt 83.33 hours a month until you have the 1000 you need to upgrade and then will STILL work your butt off until you've got the 1000 TPIC that'll let you move up to an airline that's actually a career destination. And get there on the leading edge of the wave rather than forever be stuck behind the seniority of those who did.

Don't bit€h, don't whine, short term pain for long term gain.

Think of it like a new doctor thinks of a residency: horrible hours, miserable pay, not the best QOL, but an investment that will pay you dividends for the rest of your life.
