I bid captain after 12 months there and was flying as SF3 CA after 18. Nov 97. I think I grossed 38 grand that year.

Long time ago. Pre 9/11. Everyone was hiring. The MIA crew room went white male almost overnight. Good luck.

Got a buddy over there who was a 98 Biz-Ex hire. Hopefully his name will be on the list.

this is the key statement. they have not been backfilling too much and most CA vacancies were simply a base transfers.
