| Re: Never to late? Dude, you have enough time to apply to ASA, American Eagle, Colgan, Comair, ExpressJet, Mesaba, Pinnacle, and Mesa (If you want to be a slave to the man). Start putting out those apps ASAP! |

 | Re: Never to late? Yeah you don't need those programs. I recently got hired at Express with 840/290, which isn't far off from your times.

| Re: Never too late? Yeah with those times I would just start tossing apps at the airlines you want to fly for. How recent is the flight experience? |

| Re: Never too late? But you do know what getting into the regionals entails as far as pay etc correct? Just making sure...I've run into quite a few who had no idea what they were getting into as a first year F/o..

  | Re: Never too late? Hello from boca! with those times, you should be able to get in a regional as long as the time is recent time I don't want to assume, but since you were talking about all those weird schools, you might not know that as a starting FO on a regional (which you can apply with your hours) you will be making about 15 grand a year. you have 16 years until you retire too. |

| Re: Never too late? One of our fairly recent hires here had about that amount of time with a similiar age. He's a retired police officer. I don't know how they'd fast track you... you already have the time you need. Get in an airplane or sim and get back into it (if the experience isn't recent), otherwise have at it! |
