Exactly, pilot shortage? Yeah, I don't think so.

I think what you meant to say is the regionals have more unemployable rejects than mainline(s) want in total pilots.

Delta would have done the same thing with Comair if it could have, but an airline with predominately 50 seater's doesn't have a ton of buyers.

I don't think Rick has 2 full years in the industry yet. I'm pretty sure Eagle is his first airline gig.

To be honest they really do not have too much current insight... (yours may be different) Mine asks me for whats going on at his own company. Good info yes but a little out of touch at times. Better just to use your own experience almost.

Haha this definitely happens to me every week.. He gets all excited when he finds something out and hopes I don't know about it.

Watching both my parents go through eastern and my dad United, it was an eye opener.
