My list of best regional airlines for a new F/O: Harvard School of Law What if you don't want to be a lawyer. And, if you do, your chances of making it into HSL are very low. Virginia Tech School of Medicine What if you don't want to be a Doctor? MIT A good school, but what if you don't want to be an Engineer...and it is difficult to get into MIT. Cal-Tech What if you don't want to be an engineer. And, it doesn't matter anyway. CalTech has about 900 entering freshman per year, and 99% of pilots aren't qualified to get in, so it's not a realistic option. Stanford School of Business What if you don't want to be in business? Hell even ITT technical institutes are better "regional airlines." What if you are not interested in any tech school areas? Also, there are many, many jobs and career fields where you need a four year degree. Don't kill you love of flying by becoming an airline pilot. What if you want to be an airline pilot, and have no interest in flying GA? Take a different career path, one that makes you wealthy then buy and fly your own jet on vacations to the tropics... What if you don't want to be wealthy...and you may not want to vacation in the tropics, also. This is a no-brainer man. Everyone is different. There are many, many people for whom this advice is completely wrong...and some for whom it is perfect. God Bless and namaste |
bumping this thread. its the first positive thing i have read on here in well forever

Honestly, get a corporate job, they pay more and you will likely get to the left seat faster than at any regional. Then with some TPIC, go to JB or a major with your military background. Theres nothing to see here at the regionals........its a very sour place.. |

Agreed, who knows how long it will take and it may be just a carrot to staff Endeavor. But I bet Endeavor will be flooded with apps shortly. |

Why avoid Endeavor? Is it because of the new EtD agreement for new hires?

But I bet Endeavor will be flooded with apps shortly. It will be interesting to see how the company responds if (And likely when) this new EtD promise fails to solve their apparent (and apparently dumbfounding) lack of ability to attract pilots. (I lol'd as I typed this). |

This is a no-brainer man. You have no idea what this guy’s background is. I changed oil and mounted tires at Wal-Mart while I was in college, and then worked as a trim carpenter. Am I going to be unhappy as a RJ pilot? Maybe, if the APU breaks and it gets hot I’ll be upset because I didn’t listen to you and go to Harvard. “Hell even” ITT WTF’s wrong with ITT plenty of people go there and have good jobs? The only reason more people don’t go right after high school is because their parents pump them up and tell them their worth a million bucks and need a BS degree and should make 65-85K first year after college. |
Whatever career you choose, you are not going to be as locked into it as you are as an airline pilot. 10 years ago, no one told me that and there were no forums like this. Even if you are a HVAC guy from ITT tech, you can change jobs w/o starting out at yr. 1 pay. You learn your trade, do your apprenticeship, then you are done.

No kidding. Would you like us to decide your favorite color for you too? There is no such thing as a best airline. Only a best airline for you. You need to sit down, relax in silence, and consider what's most important for yourself. Then interview and decide. That will be five cents please.:rolleyes:
Are you afraid the internet is gonna get filled up? If you aren't interested in reading the subject don't open the thread. There's like 6 Pinnacle threads right now talking about their new flow but no one complains there because it's a popular subject. |

I'm not so sure why people get all bent out of shape when people start new threads.
