How true is this from another board?
Seems like an exaggeration? Do Skywest ops require crew meals even? Is it crazy to put in seven years and leave on the cusp of upgrade?
We hired a Skywest FO a year ago. He did seven years as an FO and couldn't take it anymore. One of his standard meals was a dry brick of Ramen, sprinkled with Tabasco, between two slices of white bread. It took a solid year to get him comfortable with $50 dinners. He was like a Pavlovian bloodhound in a hotel lobby, maniacal searching out free food.
I honestly don't know how he made it with a wife and two kids.

Take your head (you know, that empty lump on top of your neck filled with useless rote memory items and limitations) getting a running start and smash into a concrete curb, then take a ball peen hammer and smash your teeth out. That kind of sums up what working at a regional is like. What ever you do, if the regionals are the route you "NEED" to take (emphasis on NEED) stay far far FAR away from RAH especially S5, they have the worst work rules, compensation, benefits blah blah blah, and S5, by far out of the certificates at RAH, have undoubtedly the WORST CHECK AIRMAN I've ever had the extreme displeasure of having to deal with. They have the kind of guys that look for reasons to bust you and the orals at S5 are the most ridiculous time you'll ever waste in your life. 2-3 hour orals are not uncommon EXCEPT if you've been around a while and those tool bags like you, then you'll be in the room for 30-45 minutes. Not that uncommon to actually get yelled at in the sim by one of these oxygen thief's.
