If you are bored after flying the left seat of the CRJ after 1,000 hours and the majors aren’t nibbling, there are lots of flying jobs out there. One 18 year Mesa CRJ CA just went to Envoy as an FO for the flow.

It's not like we're NASCAR drivers and can be measured by how many wins we have. lol

I actually had a dream/nightmare the other night that I was taxiing a large RJ through some kind of tunnel system that was very narrow. The wings only had about a foot of clearance on each side and it had tight turns and I scraped a wing in a turn and said to the FO, "That's it. I'm getting fired and my career is over." lol
