Pilots with no degrees and no TPIC are getting hired at the legacy airlines right now, many with less than 3000TT. And things havent even started to get bad yet! Wait until there are 1500 hour CFIs getting hired at the legacies in 2024. |
Im envisioning alot more turns out of MYR, BWI, and LAX. Less 4 days, sure, but getting rid of 31 hour CAK and LBE rons would be a good thing.

Sure, if they would be in places like AUS, SEA, SJU. But they're not building those.

To each their own. I will take any long over any short layover. Only fly pairing based on trip rigs. Yeah, LBE isn't my favorite, but still better than 12 hours in any airport hotel.
I'm looking forward to being home most nights. Where I live there are no kids running down the hallway, housekeeping doesn't knock on my door while I'm trying to day sleep after a redeye, and the bar at my house doesn't close at 8pm due to COVID. |

Same here, but there seems to be less and less long layovers. I don't mind them on a quick two day trip, but these four day trips with all short stay hotels are for the birds. I've done more uber eats and expensed more taxis over the past year than all of the others.
