Short of a major catastrophe in the US, based on the current number of retirements and industry growth (particularly at the regionals); you're looking at an average of 2 years at most regionals between now and then next 5 years. Again this is a rough estimate based on the data available, companies fold, merge, and sometimes reduce capacity and things could change. Industry wide however, I think the 2 year mark will become standard.

I dunno 2 years kinda scares me,:eek: A lot of responsibility, wish I could find another high paying job, wouldn't mind sitting right seat for a while, 17 days off, all day trips :)

Well.....................FO's that have Some pretty nice internal Recs.......... Its funny I have been looking at the lines for the real senior people here at XJT, and they are amazing. I mean anywhere from 16-19 days off, sometimes there is like 10-12 days off in a row. I would love to find another way to make enough money so I could just stay an FO until I could hold a decent line as a CA. QOL is what motivates me, but then again so does CAL, SWA, UPS, FEDEX, DAL, AA, United, etc............. I dunno I hope this industry turns around, its ashame so many great people that have given their lives to this thing only to get their pay, benefits, pensions stolen from the greed of Corporate America.

I'm currently on a 135 gig, pay is not bad but QOL sucks (to me QOL is just as important as $$$) so I'm just feeling the ground to see if the regional world is a viable way to go...thanks for the thoughts...
