Expressjet Hiring 196 pilots for Q1 of 2011
 
Also two upgrade classes..........

I would think long and hard for anybody that is currently instructing and thinking of leaving aviation, or someone who currently has a job outside of aviation looking to get on with a regional

It is a dismal, miserable career and if one day it does it get better, the pain and suffering we had to endure still would overshadow the few good years

that is all

Just to clarify Joe, that's two classes above the previously announced two classes. So as it stands it's a total of four upgrade classes...it's 2004 all over again.

Joey didn't you say the same sad things about Colgan. You must be the true definition for "glutton for punishment." If you were to have stayed in one place you would be a captain now with 1,000 pic and applying to SWA soon or anyplace else. This industry is what you make of it.

I agree.

If it sucks so much quit. Stop complaining non stop because you may think everyone around you loves hearing about it but it gets old.

I for one enjoy my job. I have an open mind about a lot of things. I really hate being paired with a whiner. If you hate your job quit and open up a spot for someone who wants to be there.

So many people chant they can make so much more money doing something else. My advice, do it and stop being a baby.

Rant over.
