If only my airmshipability was on par with my my ability to obfuscate and bullship! My PI's and SC's work hard when I show up. Besides, it took me TWO times to nail the interview. 
But whats three more years of Turbo-Shaking, one furlough, 7 years on reserve and 2-3000 lost numbers in the big scheme of things?

High time RJ Captains, be encouraged! It seems we don't have "too much time".
I was hired with:
13,600 total
10,600 PIC
18+ years at a regional
I'm 42 and very senior.
Many of my friends say they are content and that they will be a "lifer" at the regional level. For many folks and their situations, that is a good move. I get it.
But if you are like me and you want the security and the challenge of something different, you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and do the things that the other pilots will not do:
1- Fill out your logbook.
2- Get interview prep before you get the interview. Trust me on this (you improve your flight skills, improve your communication skills).
3- Do a sim prep.
4- Go to a job fair.
5- Network with friends (at work, FB and here on APC).
I think attitude is key. Stay positive, uplifting, and hopeful. Avoid being negative and ticked off at the past 10-13 year career pause. We can't do anything about the past, anyway. We can be hopeful and encouraged that our time is yet to come. Prepare now and be ready for it!!
