Best Regional

[Bluestreaker]

flow thrue? 900's? did they tell you all that crap in ground school? Yeah, there's a flow through but we'll never see that in our lifetime. We'll be lucky if airways stays in business. The only thing this place has going for it is the people.

Asking what airline is the best to work for is like answering your wife when she asks if that new skirt makes her look fat.

Bart,

nicely said. I couldnt have said it better.

Which regional is the best to work for today, and which do you see as having the most potential in the next few years (upgrade, QOL, larger a/c, etc).

Oh that's easy, it's MESAup, everyone knows that, especially low timers. Or how about SKYpEST (er I mean SKYbEST, depending on who you talk to) It could be Eagle too, they're connected so well at the hip to American, you know.

Wait, I know it, the best regional is Gulfstream International, especially if you hook up with their $25K training program. Great Lakes is close behind, they pay you $15.30 per hour, just think, at 40 hours a week, that's $31,824 the first year!

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas from today's Grinch.

Crossky,

How can you even consider putting SkyWest in the same category as Mesa and Lakes. All regionals have their limitations but IMHO SkyWest is a pretty good company all things considered.

 

[Crossky]

I so sorre,
pease fogive me fo bean so not sensitive. You right, SkyWest number one, top notch, numero uno.

Seriously, I didn't mean anything by it, just a little disinformation on my part. I carry just a little envy against a company which has an operation like they do and management which treats them like they do and with non-union workgroups at the same time. This is a just a product of my observations of my own success in working for two carriers with pilot unions.

Maybe I should switch sides, huh?

NEVER, unless I'm CA flying a bus or boeing for not less than $100K.

XJTAv8r,
The latest round of Bae-146 upgrades went to people hired in 1989 and 1990. Saab upgrade is generally somewhere in the first half of 1999. About two or three slots per month.

 

[SloDoDriver]

I can verify that upgrade time is that. I actually met guys while doing my interview that were doing upgrade training. They had been there anywhere from a year and a half to two years. The one FO I met who has been there 9 months has his flight time and starts upgrade training in January, but like I said who knows what will happen when my turn comes around, it could totally reverse????

MTN.....Congrats on your job..........But when I started at my Regional- guys where upgrading 9-12 months........I am now getting Furloughed after 3 years.....Just keep it real and you'll get your chance hopefully.......George W is giving me lots of work in the sandbox.......Semper Fi!!!
