What's your schedule for getting that GM spot at Chick-Fil-A ?

Which, BTW is the same reason I passed on UAL 9 years ago (not that it would matter, because I'd be on the street now anyway).
Looks like my forsight was correct.

And I know that if I go to Eagle I'm going to have to settle for a possibly 10-15 year career there to get decent PIC time because I don't want to keep moving airlines and start over. I'm not crazy about the ATR in SJU either. Eagle is good for those that are starting fresh that maybe live locally at the domiciles that don't mind staying that long but for some of us it's a tough place to go. Can you get on at Delta with 8000 hours ERJ SIC time?
It not an easy pill to swallow to commute to RSV across the country as an FO for 2 years, but it can be a painful decision when it is eventually time to upgrade here. Do you commute across the country to sit eternal reserve (much longer than 2 yrs) as a CA or stay as a 10 yr FO?
Yes, you can get hired at just about any carrier with just right seat FO time, IF you know the right people. We have had lots of FOs leave Eagle for the places mentioned by eaglefly, but you need to make up for lacking PIC time by having serious connections and a great personality.

Aside from the 3407 ramifications, they are aware that there are plenty of pilots who could use 30K/year, health care and travel bennies vs. unemloyment, COBRA and penny-pinching to feed their families. At least it would provide some ability to elevate ones head farther above the waterline.
I'm sure they'll have a substantially higher level of quals from prospective applicants this time around.

So far, that past 8 months doing the commute from DFW to ORD hasn't really been that bad. I've only spent $150 in just one of those months at a hotel (4 points). There have been 2 months that I didn't need one at all. I've gone back and forth on RSV, COMP, and 1 month holding a line. IMHO, I've been lucky and have worked the RSV system the best I could.
I have 1 more month and then I'm back in DFW.
Keep that pop corn pop'n!
