This is the part that bothers me. People volunteer their time to help the homeless and other very worthwhile causes because it's the right thing to do. It should be on your heart to do so. Doing it because you want a job at United speaks volumes about ones integrity...or lack thereof.

What about UND-type schools? Besides Embry Riddle, the price point is virtually identical to getting a 4-year-degree and learning to fly separately, so what does it matter? You can argue a smarter person would get a fallback degree, but I could argue an aeronautical degree better prepares pilots to be professional aviators thereby making them more marketable.
I' not asking rhetorically; I hear a lot of disdain for aviation degrees and I don't know why.

Your want all that.... fine. You are going to have to meet the requirements of mainline, which many regional pilots fail. So by dreaming that regional jets be flown by mainline, they will be flown by mainline caliber, mainline interviewed, vetted and trained mainline pilots.
You wanting RJs flown at mainline will end with putting thousands of existing regional pilots on the street as they are not mainline caliber. They may be good enough to fly and RJ at a regional, but not good enough to fly the same RJ at mainline. Those seats are reserved for the traditional mainline candidate..... military pilots and properly educated and experienced civilians, not your typical zero to hero regional "dude".

Yes, this means alot of us would be on the street...for awhile. The demand is still there, and either mainline or the LCCs would eventually grow to pick up the slack. Regional "dudes" are for the most part quite experienced and well-rounded these days...that's why we're filling up mainline new-hire classes.

Please explain how United subsidizes Mesa. Think republic isn't going anywhere? Put your money where your mouth is and load up on RJET stock.
