Exactly what I was thinking. For all of you who are hopping from regional to regional in 2 years or less, you're clogging up the hiring/training process for everyone else. Knock it off or we'll make you go back to instructing in 172's. :D

At RAH I was 3rd from the bottom after just turning 24. Oldest was mid-40's. Most guys were around 30ish. I have flown with one captain that was younger than me though and he'd been a captain for about 1.5 years....

I started at pinnacle 2 months after turning 21, but a friend of mine left college for Expressjet...he's 19...says he'll finish the degree online...but his dad's also a CAL CA so...yeah.

Well yeah expressjet is probably one of the top 3 desired regionals to work for, for most people at least. I talked to a guy from there in the terminal the other day who said they're having staffing issues, but I'm sure it's everywhere else. A lot of guys there are getting bigger and better jobs according to him...
