I think the important point to be made is that in today's market, someone with over 500/100 can have their choice of several regionals. Its not like 5 years ago where you needed to settle for the first one to call. Take your time and pick the airline that fits you best. You might be there for a while. Pay is not going to improve if people who have a choice work for places like Mesa, PSA, and Trans States just to get the turbine time(QOL decisions are justification in and of themselves). Choice being the key word.

Air Wisconsin is now hiring lower-time folks. Published mins are 500/125 I believe. If you wanna live out east, shoot ATW a resume; we're starting to have trouble recruiting pilots just like everybody else...

Does ATW have any bases in the Northeast? Somewhere near BOS or PVD?

Give it a rest, not everyone will be as fortunate as you to fly for express jet. If someone wants to get a job flying why not give some encouragement instead of making little comments that imply we are all idiot's because we might fly for an airline other than Express Jet. Pay rates aren't all that great anywhere. And hold out? Like most of us can afford to sit on our a$$ and just wait for what? Get over yourself, sick of your little queer a$$ remarks.

I am interested in Air Wisconsin. I am planning on instructing for the duration of the summer and then I will start sending out the resumes. I am currently at 350/58. By summer's end I should be in the ballpark of 650/100 . Still low time but that's when I am stepping into the game.

I am not getting into this industry to make 200K per year. I love to fly and will make an educated descision as to where and who I will fly for. If you love what you do the money will follow eventually. I know I can live on whatever I make. I planned wisely when I was in my twenties. Bought my house cheap, fixed it up and now its my nest egg. Did my time in the Corps and then started my own company. Made plenty of dough and discovered money isn't everything. Which leads me to flying. Maybe I'll apply with XJT. Then you can tell me in the flesh that I am a *****. It would be a sorry mistake for you, bet that you crap your skivies there on the spot. Your a spoon fed pus. I know your type. I want this, I want that. Bet thats all you ever say..
