I find it humorous (or at least uninformed) that someone thinks that ANY regional is "safe."

So it looks like each of us have given the other a good laugh.

When did I say any regional was "safe"? But go ahead, keep putting more words in my mouth, I'm sure it'll make you sound more intelligent.

This is really the entire argument against the aviation career. The reason young people these days don’t want to be involved. There is no defined path to a solid career after a very large investment. This will have to change or the regionals are going under.

I feel like this can also be applied to many, many other jobs. Heck most of my friends are on their second or third position and we are talking white collar jobs.

Absolutely. The days of 30-40 years with the same company and you get to retire with a lifetime pension and a gold watch are long gone.

The opportunities are there, but you have to be willing to take reasonable risks, work hard, and persevere. Playing online video games in your momma's basemnt isn't gonna get it done.

Agreed. I think a lot of young guys have an entitlement of well when I get to the airlines I should be making 6 figures working 14 days a month. Gotta pay your dues. Some had to pay it longer but it’s just part of the game. Thankfully things have really turned around. Always love seeing the 300 hour guys whining about the 1500 rule and wanting it to be reduced.

Same guy lacks confidence, can’t load the FMS, or multitask, and probably flys like crap.

Ah so he has another 1-2 months in LA probably with a line already. Some of us sat over a year reserve and were forced to move out west. I know how tough that 45 minute commute to PHX on company metal must be.

If I can commute from the east coast to LA for over a year, your friend will probably survive another few months.
