I never understood why people are so grateful to work for a regional airline

I'm not saying I'm grateful by any means ... but I'm thankful to have a stepping stone to the majors ... hopefully ...

Lots of people working at majors w/o heavy jet time. If people with lowly turbo prop time can get hired

At one point we were all pretty happy to be hired by a regional/first turbine operation. Perhaps your memory is either fading or skewed by your constant negativity.

You've been on the street for two years, not working in the industry, haven't been asked to update a resume or come in for a re-interview. and class starts next week. I really do wish you the best, but are you sure one of your buddy's isn't messing with you?

I was thinking the same thing...but I'm accused of being a negative half glass empty kind of guy and didn't want to say anything.

One of my co-workers (CFI) was in that class. He just got his call yesterday too which shocked everyone.

Everybody was happy to work at the regionals at one point in their career, I was. We all move on to greener pastures, there is nothing wrong with that.
