And we have to keep in mind, it's ALL relative to the times of the mid 90's when the "regionals" tubo-uber-super sucked back then.
But you could save your $5-6K, apply to GLA, TSA, or MESA. But you would also be working under the crappiest conditions, the crappiest management, the lowest pay, etc.
What many don't realize is that PFT was almost a norm back then on the civilian track. Also, in the early 90's there were mil pilots separating with virtually NO legacies hiring. And the ones that were looking to stay current and couldn't find a local 91/135/corp gig did it as well.
Complete black mark on the industry.

One SLI factor that never gets mentioned is Common Sense! While not being an official merger method, it will come into play when these committees put a list together. What makes absolutely no sense is a guy 99 percent in his company thinking he is going to be 60 percent in the new company...ain't gonna happen IMHO.
Anyway I'm so over these arguments..it really is wasted band width. The award will come in August. Then we can really start the whining.

How many of you anti-PFT guys bought a 737 type to apply to SWA?
Supply and demand drives the industry at all levels; regional to major.
I'm not up on the whole PFT thing, but I heard it didn't buy you a job. If you failed, you were gone.

Guys, who paid for mary jane rotten crotch vs those who dated her really doesn't matter. The end result is the same. Right?
Regarding those who flew at Calex and moved over to Cal, it appears their mainline line seniority is the date they starting flying at Cal, and seniority for everything else is Calex. Is that it in a nutshell?
