Don't worry, he will upgrade soon and be at a major before any of us realize.

Almost done with my sim training. Many washing out but I'm still going strong and excited to get on the line.

Fifty seat in my estimation will obviously deminish but what is left will demand even higher ticket prices.

For anyone who has recently interviewed, I was just curious what the process was like these days.

Thanks.

CRM scenario, HR and tech, look at gouges on aviation interviews.com and those are spot on. Good luck and hopefully see you in December in the CRJ class!
