The best Major Airline to work for is the one that puts your butt in class first.

I can't believe United has three times as many votes than American.

Oh yeah, one more thing. It's customers are as devoted to the company as Apple customers are to Apple.

I'm 100% certain that SWA will still be here 20-30 years from now. Can you say the same about any of the others? Based on what facts?

Because the big 3 and FEDEX are now too big to fail.

Originally I wanted to end up at FedEx. After working for them for 7 years and the last 3 of those years in Flights Ops as well as my dad retiring from there no thanks. The pay is great but that back side of the clock flying kills your body. I was amazed at all the times I saw people and I thought man you look like that and are only that old?!?!? Tales from the crypt comes to mind. For me personally it just isn't worth killing myself at a faster pace. To each their own though. I would like to end up at JetBlue now and ride them to the end. I think there is room for potential growth, I like their product and I think they are my best shot of getting out my current airline with no PIC.

It is what an interview should be. Tell us about yourself and we will teach you what we want you to know if we think you would be a good fit.

Oh yeah, no psych evaluation where God help you if you sit in the wrong chair.


In other words, you want to work at airlines that have incredibly low standards and will take anyone with a pulse....if that's the case, it sounds like you want to work for the regionals.

I spent a long time flying for a UAX carrier and have now flown for all three as an express/connection/eagle pilot. United is by far the worse and it isn't even close. Delta is definately number one as of now.

Anywhere i get to wear my leather jacket, and no where i would have to wear a ship captains double breasted sport jacket.

Yes because we all know that everything is the same for the Express carriers. I'm sure some comair/pinnacle pilots can chime in about great Delta was to them.



Side question, so you say "eagle pilot' but aren't you at psa? hmmmm
