When it’s sitting next to yours that says you bailed and made a lateral move guess who gets the job?

Not quite sure what you’re referring to. I’ve only been at one regional. Your ~*^%~>TWO<~%^*~ type ratings is going to set you so far apart though!

You are seriously a disappointment breeding machine. It’s not great news. One day it “will” be great news.

A person will upgrade when they upgrade. Fantasizing about it will not pay the bills or earn you PIC time. Tell the truth and nothing but the truth. People of the future will thank you.

No kidding! What a joke! Who would come to this airline with the better opportunities and better pay offered at literally every other regional airline?

Comparing XJT to UAL is delusion at its finest. Republic, SKW, TSA's most senior bases can be held as a CA much sooner... lol.

Yeah, because no one is getting hired at a major with one type from TSA, Republic or GoJet, etc.... jeebus dude... what a cop-out excuse for being at XJT.

There was no comparison being drawn except the fact that ALL airlines have junior bases and senior bases. When upgrade is discussed, it’s always determined by the most junior base.

Isn’t that what APF is for?

United will reward XJT the next 39 new 175s because we are price competitive. Our ALPA union sold us out on the last contract so we can steal market share. More 175s will drop upgrade times to less than two years. That will drive new pilots to XJT. Whipsaw continues to work.

I applaud your realistic viewpoint. Bravo

Bump. Subodh, AKA DoSomePilotStuff is selling more lies.

Upgrade time is not based off base trades, but awards. Simple stuff. The guy can't help himself from lying though.

Again, there are nearly 100 CAs in IAH below the person you are referring to. For the purposes of total transparency is this not an important fact?
