That's it??!! What do you mean that's it? Those airlines aren't good enough? Lemme guess, you're gonna hold out for American, United, or Delta...... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm gonna have to call your bluff on this one and say you didn't read it correctly. Look at who has RJs being flown by pilots who dream of sitting in a narrowbody: American Eagle, Chautauqua, Trans States, Skywest, Mesa, PSA, Mesaba, Pinnacle, Horizon, Comair, and ASA (think that's all of them). "That's it" refers to the fact that 4 or 5 airlines are hiring while there are about a dozen regionals with hundreds of pilots at each who desire to move up. There's isn't enough room for growth right now.

"That's it" does not at all reflect on the quality of who's hiring. I've never had a desire to go to United, American, Delta, or Northwest. I'd love a job at Southwest, Frontier, UPS, or even jetBlue. But, supply exceeds demand right now, so yes, "that's it" as to who's hiring.

Dang man, I've been labeled as bitter and pessimistic, but I'm not that bad. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/insane.gif[/img]
