Just curious, where are we short on the Maddog? In NYC, we have 30 something reserve guys. It seems like overkill since I think theres only 50 or so regular guys in category.

I guess it makes sense. Almost everytime I was called out on reserve, I deadheaded down to Atlanta. Atlanta Maddogs have some very nice trips.

SWA is about the only 121 passenger hauler that I would ever consider but lets face it their are thousands of RJ captains just chomping at the bit to get on. I do enjoy the Charter side of flying much more then I thought I would, its just fun flying and it may be more stable then the airlines. I say it maybe more stable because my flying has went down substantially since last year. In my opinion the way to make it in this career is to make as much money as possible and keep moving up in pay not taking a cut for 5 years just so you get to fly cool equipment. This seems to be getting harder to accomplish.
