Also throw into you will not even earn a 2nd week of vacation until year 5 is it? Most lines have 14 days off where you can get more days off else where. You will be at work more, earn less, and have less vacation at USairways then others.....

If you figured it out that it is going to be such an awful place for the next 30 years then don't apply.
Its in the closet as it has been for the last 3 years.

You know I seem to remember DAL open their application window and got like 20,000 applicants. USairways had like 6,000. Think there's a reason for so little as compared to DAL????

Also there is something to be said about a company who's management team admits to their system/routes being the weakest of the hub and spoke carriers. Who continue to say they rather keep their fleet at fleet minimums. A mgt team who openly admit they're pay is the weakest and always will be to stay competitive.....
Fyi.... I realize we dont choose and pick who will hire us. Its all about timing and opportunity. But few would choose or say Airways is the best pilot job out there.....

Maybe it isn't for everybody. But these regional captains that you say wouldn't be willing to come over are very short sighted. I understand it is a big paycut but someday when this fine union gets it together it will get better. In case you can't see regionals are not going to be the same as they were when everybody was bankrupt, with growth and quick upgrades. If I was at a regional I would be trying to get out quick. Just remember it is a marthon not a sprint. An no I am an ex regional Captain.
