Because for $30K, you can go to GIA, and after 4 months, be a Beech 1900 F/O. Do that for 250 hours, and then go to PNCL, and Colgan among others.

If they offer a permanent hire as 1900 F/O, take it, and you will upgrade at just past the 1500 TT mark. Then get 500 hours PIC turbine, 2500TT, and Airtran hires you. Stick around a little bit longer for 1000+ turbine PIC, and SWA might hire you. It's happened to some GIA captains. They've ended up at majors like Airtran and SWA.


I apologize DE, now I'm just ruffling your feathers.
