That's just a ploy to keep people hanging aroung.Then there is compass.If they will hire you,probably not a bad gig,just pay for your own housing and transportation during training and sim.Skywest???Good company,no doubt if you live in the Midwest or out west or don't mind the commute.But plan on being a professional gear slinger for atleast 5 or6 years.
Commutair is not a bad deal if you like the northeast and the dash.
So........ you may not have it as bad as you think you do.

Couldn't and didnt handle growth and compensation properly and it snowballed into the cluster we have today.To constantly blame people today for mistakes that have been years in the making is insane to me.
