Actually, no. "...were not any reading comprehension tests..." would be correct, the way you were trying to correct him.

"...was no reading comprehension test..." was grammatically correct. Was is used with a singular subject.

No, Sir or Ma'am, it is not. You wrote test, not tests.

If you're not getting called by Delta, so What! Go to a LCC, Cargo, anything. Get another type rating! 10,000 hours means NOTHING if it's all CRJ time.

I'm former ASA, spent 9 years there. Some of the best people in the industry by far. Don't sell yourself short!

You can make countless excues as to why they didn't take the job back then. But with the emergence of the LCC's there is no excuse other then just being entitled and lazy. Great you have 15k hours in a jet, what else have you done in your life??? The number of times I flew with someone that felt entitled to a job with a major was astounding. Just because you have some experience X place for X time dosen't entitle you to anything. Unless your regional has a flow, you have nothing at all and are equally qualified to the guy sitting in the right seat next to you.

At this point anyone over 10 years at a regional as a CA is a liability and NOT an asset like they think they are.

None of those have better work rules than ASA and for the IPs at ASA not better pay rates. It's great that you are young and can move at will, but it's not an easy decision for some. I hope everyone makes it out, but to each their own. No reason to **** on someone for their individual decisions.

OMFG this isn't personal! ASA has a great contract and we all benefited from it. The people telling you to leave are doing so because in two years (maybe less) you won't have a job.

Please remember that it isn't the pilots of 9E that had anything to do with this. My big question is; who decided to let LXJt fade away? Is it the desire to dump the 200s or Skywest ensuring adequate staffing on their equipment? Why are they letting you guys, seep away per se?

L-ASA I couldn't wager to guess as I wasn't on their side of the company.

L-XJT: Skywest is letting the contracts time out because we are an expensive pilot group. They've put little effort into recruiting and the pilot group is very top heavy. Also their letting United remove tails and place them with cheaper contracted companies. As a result there is little movement in the list.

The only reason I can see is the expense part. We have amazing D0 and CCF numbers.

It sucks when you see an exXJT XR tail at TSA or the likes. The XR and sans airstair LRs were L-XJT specific birds.

It's that easy to do anything other than a lateral move? Sweet, why didn't I think of this before? I'll just apply and get the call tomorrow from any LCC or cargo company or anywhere. Thanks for the advice. This has been a real eye opener.

Endeavor has recently been awarding captain positions to pilots with the minimum 121 time. There's been a few that were awarded captain while they were still in initial and it looks like it will continue for the foreseeable future. 9E also loves guys with prior CRJ time and there's been a pretty solid rumor we'll be opening an ATL base soon. PM me if anybody would like a referral or has questions.

P.S. I wish the best possible outcome for everyone here and please don't take this post the wrong way. I just want to bring things to light for people that may be looking at other options. We're all in this together.

Everyone has their own path and I'm not trying to con anyone into anything. Just offering to those that may already be interested in making a lateral move.
