BTW I moved back 10% in base because of the BRO transfers.

Isn't this your 3rd airline in 2 years? Hard to take advice from someone who can't make up their own mind.

How do you know that he'll move faster over there? Can you predict who will win every contract that is up within the next two years? I know plenty of people who have tried to chase upgrades and failed or taken gambles on airlines and timed it wrong. Picking a good stable company is much more of a sure thing than picking someplace 'promising' quick upgrades.

If you're so sure of the upgrade and both of these airlines have an ORD base why aren't you going over to TSA yourself? Same base and according to you faster movement and better pay.

3rd in 3years first one was a disaster with bases closing and no upgrades in sight with just all around issues. 2nd was amazing and I would have never left if it wasn't for a family emergency that required me to be in ORD. Real nice slinging insults though then again what's new that's SOP around these forums.

As for why I'm not leaving?... I'm content with where I'm at in life and SKW, but for new people I can't see anything wrong with going to TSA. The guy asked for opinions and I gave him mine.

If he is a 1500 hour cfi, he can't upgrade for about three years at any airline anyway. You know different the landscape will be in three years! Chasing the upgrade could back fire big time.

Why can't he upgrade less than three years? It doesn't take that long to get 1000 hours.

Wasn't trying to insult you. I just find it ironic that while you were at silver you were telling guys to come on over. Now that you're at Skywest, you're telling people to go elsewhere.

There's good and bad times to join certain regionals... Right now it's good at pretty much all of them some better than others. I'm not saying don't come to SkyWest cause hey that's someone else below me, but there's also some places than can be better for others depending on where they're at in life.

Hey, TSA is a pretty happy place now. We have new management and Kieth Stamper from Com Air has this place VERY pilot friendly. Plus, we have a pretty good contract.

Our upgrade is for real and ORD base for this guy would be a deal maker.

Good to know!! Sorry for the unintentional smear!
