The most junior LCA here has almost 9 years of seniority.

Not so much, but it's certainly something I would like to do if it helps me get out. However I've been hearing that check airman are now finding it harder to move on as Skywest asked the majors to slow down the hiring of LCAs. I've flown with a few captains who don't want to become check airman for that reason

That is false... But they do ask prospective LCA's if they plan on leaving...

So I am thinking of moving to the majors, and Allegiant has a pilot meet and greet in CVG on Monday. You think it is worth going and working for them?

Actually that is exactly what came from the HR dept. they have agreements with all the partners on numbers of pilots that will be hired from OO. It is complete crap but it does exist.

I beg to differ... It's completely false.

Ok. Welcome to the Internet.

Congrats on all the accounts.

Actually True. A few years ago Jerry and Chip both went to DL and UA and made the case for not hiring too many too fast or the feed would suffer. UA does hire quite a number of ExpressJet pilots in relation to Skywest pilots. But the Skywest numbers are lower overall.
