Does that mean that going to AMF has no value? No that's not what I'm saying. Stop taking everything personally and think outside of your bubble.

So what you are saying, if you don't want to do more than the minimum, you might as well go to the regionals

Until very recently, you didn't stand a chance in Hades of getting on with Delta or FedEx without military time.

As for E120 FOs, we have two E120 runs out of BFI, so there is turn over there. I don't know what the current status of hiring for those positions is.

Be careful about jumping ship to Omni. Management has threatened the pilot group that airplanes will be sold and furlough notices mailed if the pilots won't accept the forced proposal from them. The pilot group is going to vote NO on anything less than what is asked, so if you leave your flying gig now, you will be furloughed sooner then later. BE CAREFUL.
