But if I had to do it all over again from 0 hour I dont know if I would do it. |

I'll agree to this statement. I just received and email from American Eagle that they just lowered the minimums for FO's.
And to think, I spent $21000.00 getting that 200 hours multi time when I could have just waited a little. JS-:confused: |
Do you guys remember the pilot shortage of 88' 90' 92' 94' 96' 98' 00' 02' 04' 06'. And with all the cooperation that the EU is giving for the EU ATPL and ATP my career should be smooth sailing and tons of chics by July. I also figgur that oil should be down to $50 by at least December....

It sounds like you are from a foreign country...are you enjoying flying in the USA? Feel free to join the US Military, we could use your serices...otherwise please submit your application to your former homeland!;)
You must be a full-blooded American Indian! Just curious, what's your tribe, chief?!!! |
When I was in college in the late 80's and early 90's, you could'nt sniff a regional job without at least 2000 TT and 500 Multi. You "might" have gotten an interview with those times if you got a recommendation from a captain. Maybe!
Now, regionals are hiring kids, yes I said kids, with less than 500 TT! There has to some sort of shortage. I'm sorry, but it ****es me off to hear these 500 hr. pilots whining about their commuter jobs, when I look back at what I had to do to build time. Flight instruct, sightseeing, photo, charter, almost die umpteen times in the bush in Alaska, corporate, and then finally, when I had over 3000 TT and 500 multi, I landed an FE job with a crappy cargo airline! Whooohoo! Anyway, that's my $.02. |

SkyHigh Evidently I want sarcastic enough.....Ill be mindful next time to remember the level of reader... |
Oh, now that I think of it I guess lots of 18.00/hr jobs and low paying major jobs WAS the pilot shortage we were all waiting for (sarcasm for those of you from Rio Linda)
