It's crazy how you just got hired in January with a R-ATP, and you're already looking at the majors. I hate to say it, but you're in for a rude awakening. Aeronautical university kids crack me up.

I'm not saying it's bad advice, I'm just saying literally your employer tells you to log it that way. What does my seniority at the company have anything to do with that? You guys suggesting a simple log of level-d time (which is rightfully legal to log) will not get you a job at a major are being dramatic. You don't need seniority to know that.

Can anyone on this forum just accept maybe someone has a different opinion than theirs without making a personal remark? I generally get along with everyone here. Sounds like I ruffled some feathers just saying you can log it? Mainline apps will have you clarify the difference anyways.

Someone came in here looking for advice on logging SIM time. Rick gave solid, industry-accepted practices. You then said he was being dramatic. Look. Nobody said logging it the way you have is going to cost you a job, but in this highly competitive market, details matter. If you think the instructors at Skywest or anywhere else have your future interests in mind you will be disappointed. What you CAN log and what you SHOULD log have always been vastly different things.

Guys do you think that Mesa will lose the contract with United and Skywest will take over Houston with 175s ? I was considering to apply for Mesa because of the base but Skywest is a better place to work for sure. Thank you for any advise

Yes, May 20th that will happen, we will also get 20 175s for AA in DFW, new base there as well, plus the BOI and ATL base.

Wish I had done this, but then again, I was caught in the lost decade. I've had a few friends keep their apps up to date at majors when times were tough even. They got scooped up right away at places like US Airways when no one else wanted to go there. I have another acquaintance who will probably retire in the single digits at Delta if not number one.

How can someone back out of a bid? I know they're being awarded right not. I'm a CRJ FO in ORD and I bid for ERJ FO starting next year just to see if I had a freeze. Turns out I have a two year seat lock. But the more I think about it, I'd like to stay on the CRJ. If they did award me the ERJ, can I back out? I think it's unlikely they'll give it to me. I bid for starting the ERJ 10/17, but my lock isn't done until 10/18. Thanks!
