When the economy picks back up and hiring starts again, which of these two airlines do you think is the better career choice?

I don't think Family Airlines has PBS and they are suppose to have health benefits for new hires so, I'm leaning towards them. LOL
 
well there's a good chance that Continental will survive more than 7 or 8 months so...

(of course I said the same thing about JetBlue in 1999)
 
Well, since you couldn't get hired by Continental - I guess Family Airlines would be your best shot!


:smash:

Family would turn you down like every other carrier in the universe. :laugh:. I don't even think Family would take the $50 application fee from you. Better yet, you'd be dumb enough to send it.

Pocohole, how are those pay cuts and furloughs working out over there at XJET these days? Rumor has it you will be losing more airplanes soon as Colgan keeps taking an increasing amount of XJET flying. Seeing as you are a lifer in the RJ, (lifer..lmao) that is going to sting even worse than your rejection from CAL.

Pocono pilot is a regional lifer. She relied on her sex to try and get on at United. She failed. Now she i stuck at Xjet forever, and her salary is maxed out. To make herself feel better about this, she bashes more fortunate mainline employees.
 
A little scorned maybe? Nah, not Pocohole she is a level headed individual. Smart and in control of her destiny. We could all learn from Pocohole and her wise career choices.

I am curious Pocohole, did you ever find out who burned you at CAL? I have a feeling it was your old Express coworkers.
 
Family is the only way to go!!! Only a fool would pick CAL over Family.
 
Hi again Poco, I see your back on. Yes I'd be glad to take you to lunch in IAH next Tuesday; drop me a note.

So we have something to talk, tell me what happened on that CO interview, and how did that whole job thing a UA turn out? You told all of us that it was a done deal, care to share why it didn't come through?

The technical interview ate her alive as does most who don't get on there....and then they sit here and bash UAL for it.

LOL. You're a bimbo. That's so funny. LOL. I can't help myself. ROFLMAO. Making fun of CAL is so funny.

On a more serious note, I can't stand the senior rats at CAL that have their jobs at the expense of others who were trying to protect the profession.
 
CAL has bases in Houston, Cleveland and Newark.

Family Airlines does not have bases in Houston, Cleveland or Newark.

Point, Family Airlines.

It'll go the way of SKYBUSTED

Skybus couldn't survive with brand new 320s and low fares. What makes ya believe the "Family" will make it with it's low fares and classic 74s or even used -400s? Go to their web site and view the fares and city pairings. People currently residing within Belview could not come up with this plan.
Remember back to those airline management classes that some of you sat through, the formulas and $$$ per seat, per mile to make a profit? The math does not work, but it's America and anyone can try to start a business. Thank the military for that freedom, ;) .

To the perosn who started the thread; a word of caution. If you think that the lawn at Family is greener then the lawn you current enjoy then go for it. It's a gamble and with gambling there is always a price to pay. I guess there is irony in the fact that this airline is starting in Vegas. You figure it out.
 
Well, it sure seems like more people would rather go to Family Airlines than CAL.

Just as I suspected. ;-) LOL

They must have seen how bad CAL's contract is. hehe LOL

Hey tool. There are a few of us still waiting to have a face to face with you and your needed attitude adjustment as well as finding a way to keep your piehole shut. Care to let us know when a good time for you is?
 
Family Airlines, a great choice - just like...

EOS
ProAir
SkyBus
Hooters
Southeast
Silverjet
Maxjet
etc., etc...

Take the leap, get away from XJet, and maybe we won't have to hear all your whining & CAL bashing.
 
Is pocono a real person and not some guy pulling bull********************? I mean seriously reading the pervious posts on this person its like they are almost saying stuff just to get a response outta you people. You think someone really that stupid believes that a regional is better then a major? As for instructor dude how much do you want to bet they are the same people!
