Did anyone else realize Aviate basically has a near 1 year penalty. So basically after being accepted no matter what your status is you have to wait 6 months. So that pushes any of us to May no matter how senior you are. And if you miss those couple classes till summer when UA usually stops hiring you won’t see a classes until what September. A 9 month hold is ridiculous.

There were guys stuck in the regionals for 15 years, you’re not going to find a lot of sympathy about the dream gig taking 6 extra months.

Many of the new people have no clue how bad it was. I heard a new hire student ask his sim instructor “why aren’t you at a major yet? You should be able to go easily!” The instructor has had his app in for years..

You need to look at history. A regional and its performance can be fixed with money. Regionals that have been poor performers (like pinnacle) can be set up as a pipeline/feed to a major. The mainline invests money in the infrastructure and turns the place around (endeavor). I think we’ll see more and more wholly owned regionals in the future with direct paths to that major.

His sim instructor just like other pilots probably doesn’t have a degree. Doesn’t volunteer, the older pilot group doesn’t see the value in volunteering n believe it should be about piloting that’s it. Probably doesn’t have a professional resume. They stop applying!!!! Got comfy with their seniority. Nearing the age of retirement. Doesn’t wanna start over. Zero networking, zero events conventions attended. The older pilot isn’t gonna follow a regional chief pilot on social media and get buddy buddy with him meet for lunch and have him as a
mentor!( GEMS )
Just to name some reasons.
It’s called a job HUNT for a reason. The food doesn’t come to you you gotta get creative.
