Yea..the money is what counts. I couldn't care less how much you make. You might want to scroll up and read some of the previous post.

I'm not "stuck" anywhere. What moral ground am I holding up? All I said is you're not the only guy on this forum with any experience. I'm perfectly happy being "stuck" here if stuck keeps meaning 100K plus and home more often than not......do you have to lash out at everyone who disagrees with you?

I don't work at GoJet anymore. I moved on see? I got my time and moved on. See, back in the old days you didn't get your certificates then get hired by a regional. You had to instruct for a few years, then maybe fly some freight then maybe.....just maybe after you aquired 2500 or greater hours THEN you may or may not get hired flying a turbo-prop puddle jumper. So, yes it took me some time. Fact is I took a pay CUT to go to the regional airlines. It was a time when you didn't go from wet certificate to a rj. It was a different time.

I'll agree to disagree when you can show me what I was BSing about? You honestly think that myself nor others on this board have 10k plus hours and a variety of flying backgrounds????? Please show me my BS then I'll leave it at that. Cause the only topic I've mentioned is your 10K hours....

Mooney is right...you really do think you are the only one with any experience who didn't have to get hired in the days when 1500+/500+ published mins were the norm, and not flexible......wanna guess what my background is oh great one? hint: more experienced than yours.....

The BS is the accusation that I'm not being honest about my experience. I have 5 master log books and working on number 6

now if you took that route, why is it so hard to believe that I (and thousands of others on here) did the same thing? That's the point I've been trying to make....not everyone you are talking to is a spring chicken...
