54 years old, flying helos for 30 years. Offshore oil and gas in the dump due to low oil prices with no end in sight. Seriously considering taking advantage of RTP. 10 years flying left so probably won't make the majors so regional captain until retirement. Single, kiddos all grown up so don't care about schedule, days off etc.
Welcome aboard! Let me or anyone know how we can help! Good luck on your next steps! Nick

Default Hello

Hi everyone. I am a CRJ 900 Captain at Mesa Air Group. I am 32 years old. I got hired at Mesa a little over 11 years ago. Wow I was 21 years old, time flies! I recently went to my second interview at Spirit Airlines. I did an interview prep this time and had 4 internal recommendations. 2 of which were my co pilots a few years ago. I just got the thanks but no thanks today and I am litterally crushed. My first interview with Spirit was in September and I did not have a four year degree but was working on it. I finished my four year at the end of May and went to the second Spirit interview July 7th. I am on here in hopes of finding anything to help me get on with any major now. I have almost 9,000 total time and have been told by a recruiter at Jet Blue I have too much flight time. I feel as though I am in a rut I will never be able to get out of. I am looking forward to learning what I need to do to help me further my career.

Default Introduction

Hi,

I'm an FO flying CRJs for a well known regional connector, just over 15 years now, and have over 7600 hours total time. I love my job and the people I fly with, but times are changing, so I'm looking to move on. Since commuting is inevitable, I'm looking at operators that offer long trips followed by long off-duty periods to reduce commute days each month or companies with bases in cities I would like to call home.
