LGA. IAD :)


Airplanes w/ no MEL's. record for me was 9 ;)

that's a pretty sad statement if you actually think that mid 30's is a decent amount.

If you had stayed at Colgan wouldn't you have upgraded in less than a year, have been able to bid into a non-mx base, and been paid in the mid 40s? But now you get JET SIC time. That's going to get you far. Smooth move, ex-lax.

think big picture, you tool...how the hell is jet sic time useless??? all that you are flying is an overpowerd cessna sled...I think you're just bitter that you made the mistake of going to colgan and now you're stuck there!

I'm sure SAAB will be much happier flying jet equipment at XJT in the right seat. XJT is a good company and the current route structure enables you to be in a much larger geographical area. Once he starts flying the jet at XJT, I would think that he will never have a desire to fly a bug smasher again.

Unless specifically for bug smashing activites on his days off.. :D (not for compensation, of course)

my bad
 
You guys are right. RJs are totally cool. And by the time he upgrades, Southwest will probably have run out of acceptable candidates with PIC time, and have started taking guys with 3000 jet sic. I totally didn't look at the big picture. I'm such a loser, I'm going to go cry into the sic column in my logbook, since that doesn't get used anymore.
