Not to make too much sence in here, but simply getting 1000 PIC isnt the instant ticket to superstardom at Delta. Hell, 75% of people I know hired at ALL regionals in the last year don't have a college degree. The next generation of regional lifers have arrived.

Collectively I don't believe it's that high. People hired over the past year? Oh yeah.

For all the suck, I sort of feel safer in my job at Mesa than I would at any other regional except maybe Compass. So many are winding down or can't hire. Mesa just keeps plugging along.

So there's at least two people who won't be here in 2-3 years.

Should be at least 1 or 2 early 2013 hires in that CRJ class. Still plenty of senior people holding out for PHX CA and/or EJet CA lineholder.

There are plenty of Regionals in a good spot. Here at TSA things are going up and up and up. I mean if we staff what we were awarded we will get even more. PSA looks good, Air Wisky, Go Jet (yuck), PDT, Horizon, Skywest are all good stable places I would think.
