I would say NO!!!! A friend of mine, who was tracked down via LinkedIn and is 62 years old, was just interviewed by Skywest and has a interview with TransState later in the year. Of course, he has a ton of experience.

Also, XJT does not make money so there will never be a real profit sharing check after the $1000 bonus the first 2 years.

Envoy has ZERO problem filling their seats because they offer a true flow and decent pay. Hmm....Coincidence?

Hmm, removeb4flight and your comments seem to run contrary to the $35,000 loan I received for all my flight training. (yes, SPECIFICALLY for flight training) Underwriters will underwrite a loan if they think you have the ability to pay it back. That is their job. If they know you will make $hit wages for a decade, yes, no loan.
If you are to make a livable age, whether you're an engineer, diesel mechanic, nurse, whatever, you CAN secure a loan for just about anything. Perfect terms? Probably not, it's not a secured loan. But if your industry doesn't pay garbage, the loan is at least somewhat secure in and of your career ambitions. Otherwise NOBODY would get loans for ANYTHING. There are tons of CFI's, 135 guys, pt91 guys etc that would LOVE to go to even a regional, but will not/can not handle making garbage wages, they have mouths to feed. If the wage was right, starting, 75-95K+, OVERNIGHT you would see an absolute GLUT of pilots willing to go to their first 121 gig. Get real.

I would assume that both of the above would cost a lot more than $35,000. If you have $0 for flight training, and want to be a pilot, can you now get the loan to get you to your first job???
Namaste.

For all those wondering where the industry will trend, I'll mention to you what President Obama said on open mic to the PM of Russia a couple yrs ago. "Wait until after the election."
Watch world market reaction. World leaders reaction, enemies who try to test our President.
6 months from now EVERYTHING could change. We are due for another cyclical downturn. Pay attention in the next few months after the election for global stability.

This from Gen. Wesley Clark explains our current offensive policy very well - or do you think he's a "REMF" too?
