CAL never required 1000 tpic, just 1000 turbine. I would never recommend staying in a regional. Their future in uncertain and the pay is pathetic! I spent 8 years at one. If you can go to a low cost carrier such as spirit you can still have a good career if you never get a call from a major. That's worst case scenario. Best case is you have to pick between the two and you go to a United or Delta interview with the piece of mind knowing you already have a job that can support a family and provide a nice life. Never pass on a good job in hopes of maybe getting a great job! Fwiw I had no turbine pic when united called me. Good Luck!

A service of all helo and herk guys with no pointy nosed, Jeremiah Weed drinking, so to speaking, container, kranium, talk with their hands, shoot their watch, BFM, BVR, AMRAAM shooting, zipper pants wearing narcissists?

Man, shoulda gone Coasty!

Caveat, trained many a Coasty at the Rock in the Herk, and they were top notch.

Not everyone can fly fighters....someone's gotta fly fatties.

I wouldn't trade any of my fighter time for anything. Absolute blast and great pilots and friends.

Don't forget "No Slugs"

Shoulda gone coasty. So to speak.

At a recent commander's call, the SARC said we can't say "so to speak" anymore. Evidently it's now considered offensive to use a phrase intended to convey that nothing offensive was meant by what was just said. Ugh.

Same folks that took the doofer books. Too bad. Take away the fun.

Major drift - lol
