What’s your point? Different strokes and all that.
Yeah, eventually the mainline job is better, but everyone’s situation is different.
Yep, I do that here and fly 160. Every time I go to work it feels like I’m starting a new job. Makes line checks fun.

I think you missed the "with a flow" part of my argument. If you go to Envoy, you make more or less what a B6 pilot makes, enjoy seniority movement and will eventually be a pilot at AA guaranteed.

Ask some regional guys how many of them have their apps in here. You will get a very polite answer.

Crazy times we’re in. Pilots can go anywhere they want. 23-24 years olds getting picked up by a legacy is becoming the norm rather than the exception.

It is not the norm. The average age of a new hire at DL this year, who has been hiring 200/month and has put 1500 pilots on property, is 33. In my class of 48 we had one 24 year old.
Hardly the norm.

And neither can pilots go anywhere they want…. Hyperbole.

That’s fine, they should do what’s best for them. I remember AE having a flow in the early 2000’s. They got stuck at eagle. That’s why I’ve always been skeptical. Airlines hire till they furlough. To each his own.

The former may be a little exaggerated, the latter is not. Pilots can punch their own ticket. Unless they have glaring personality issues or show up unprepared. Heck, they hired you didn’t they? 😅

If you spent money in training on food that’s your choice and not required. The daily allowance is enough to cover you.

You do realize people have families? Or are you that singleminded?
