I disagree....
Moving from Mesa to an ExpressJet or SkyWest is NOT a lateral move.

I did a lateral from PDT to XJT. By comparison, it's like I wasn't even at a real airline before.

There were a couple TSA guys that were interviewed at RAH not very long ago. The chief pilot for CHQ came down on them pretty hard about abandoning their company. Said it showed something about their character and made them a higher liability to hire. I took a few new hires I saw at the hotel for XJT to lunch since I had a vehicle two days ago. He was one of them and was a nice and intelligent guy. They simply didn't like the fact that he hadn't shown loyalty. Depending on how the person hiring you feels it could hurt. Ah whatever. What does CHQ expect. They're offering a 2500$ bonus to people w/ERJ time. Do they think that people are going to get that instructing? That bonus is SUPPOSED to draw people away from other places. |

I had a friend recently leave ASA for RAH; his interview was about 20 minutes long and was immediately placed in the next class. Shame on him; now he lives in domicile, sees his family more often and will upgrade in the same amount of time with an operator that has a more stable future full of growth. TD, there are too many hypocrites in aviation, don't be one of them. |
i interviewed last month and the chief pilot didn't come down on me for ditching TSA (must've been understood that i had a good reason). Kim did ask, and i gave her the straight answer as i saw it (bad work rules, mgmt that hates the pilots, etc.)
i was offered a class date within 30 minutes |
