Look at all the guys that have been hired at SW, FedEx, UPS, etc with no turbo jet experience. What do you think got them there?

Got news for you, for the guys with turbo jet time it's still WHO YOU KNOW. The only turbo jet time that's going to get you hired any faster comes from a jet with 4 big motors and goes across oceans. Not Super-Challenger or Dork-Jet time.

Um, sorry to break it to you. But if you read what I wrote, that is what I was saying.

But overall Props rock. Why else does ASA pays their right seat prop drivers $3 more an hour than 200 fos?

Both of my CFI's moved on after the regionals. One is at NetJets and the other at Continental. Both flew at Pinnacle and neither were captains. Both fly with guys all the time that flew props up till they moved to those companies. Props are more fun. I run into ex Colgan guys all the time and they miss the Slaab.
