So then how the hell do we get out of here Nate? Are we supposed to sit here and rot in FO limbo forever? I mean I have my stuff out there and always looking for opportunities, but without pic time, we are at the bottom of the resume pile

It's a perfect anology. All three pilot groups are in the same prison with the same warden (CEO). The warden favors them so they don't want the arrangement changed even though the warden is being immoral with us in full sight of Skywest. The basement of the pawn shop scene in pulp fiction comes to mind. But in this case Bruce Willis (Skywest pilots) decide to do nothing. If they were to organize we could all collaborate together in order to make this prison better for all of us, not just them. It's a perfect analogy of what is going on.

Guess you didn't get that I was talking about management... But sure go ahead and make it an us vs. you ****ing contest again. I haven't heard that one in a few hours so, sure go ahead and bring it up again. Im sure your comments will change my mind about the entire thing 
...
I was thinking a pay raise for all pilots at Expressjet (LXJT & LASA).

Pilot, dispatch, crew scheduling, quality assurance, human resources, information technologies...does it honestly matter to you?
I know, you ran an IP ping and it states mostly all you really care about. If I really wanted to hide I would run every post through a proxy.

From: I can fly.....I'm a pilot
I have no idea man, it is something I think about just about every day. It sure is frustrating. Do we stay and wait for upgrade or maybe get out of here with no PIC, try to go to another regional and chase an upgrade while taking a huge hit on pay, or just up and quit and find another job to do? We are looking down the barrel of possibly being a 7,8 maybe even 9 year FO here. I hope we see some serious movement here soon otherwise I am leaning to just finding something else to do then just quit.

If I were you I would sit tight, stay where you are, keep sending your apps, and keep your eyes and ears open.
F.O.'s are getting calls at the majors, just like captains with TPIC and college degrees aren't.
The only scenario where I would start over at the bottom of another regional would be if I'd been sat on the shelf for a while and need to get current again, or the other regional was hiring street captains.
Things are happening fast in this industry right now. Those of us who are current and qualified just need to be patient.

I guess the point is you're not a pilot at XJT or ASA, therefore your presence here is mere trolling and your thoughts on the subject are totally irrelevant.
