What happened to the drive most all of you had to be a major airline pilot? Why do you give up on your dream so easily? My path to the majors wasn't hard at all. I know that none of you went to flight school to be a regional lifer, so why resign yourself to being one?

 

[Browntothebone]

Yeah congrats on putting the final nail in the coffin of this career, The future is 37$/H not matter what you fly. Thanks.

That's $2/hr MORE than my company pays first year pilots. What does RAH pay second year? My company pays $122/hr for second year F/O.

I think people are beginning to realize that quality of life is not just tied to the amount of money you make. The majors are not as attractive these days. Perhaps if they ever have a true changing of the guard they may reemerge as an attractive option (say 10 years from now). For now, not too many of us want to commute to a job where we fly with a bunch or burned out, cynical old farts.

Yea..Great to be hired by the majors now..LOL you can have it I wont fight you for that job..LOL Reserve for 20 years.... right...

Im just about to laugh my ass off at you bunch of D O U C H E BAGS!!! trying to rationalize your reason for still being at a regional as anyone elses fault but your own..LOL I just shot Kool aid out my nose!!

I just go to work and go home to my average 15 days a month off...and read a forum or two just to laugh at you bunch of D O U C H E Bags!!! If you were really so smart you wouldnt be in this business in the first place..LOL

Dont feel bad because Im a D O U C H E too for being in this business. But at least Im smart enough to know that...LOL there goes some more Kool Aid

Seriously? I understand frustration but......... seriously?

Times have changed fo sho but unless the next generation raises the bar the regionals will always be stepping stones. Being at a regional in todays' realm is certainly not anyones "fault." It's a product of the majors shrinking instead of growing.

When things pick back up there will be another wave of "regional" pilots making the jump to the majors because - let's face it - the schedules, work rules and pay are certainly better than most, if not all, regionals.

Can't say that about Midwest and Frontier.

You mean airlines that fly widebodies internationally?

 

[GuppyWN]

No dickhead. I'm talking about majors that pay over $200k a year with 18 days off a month.

You must be talking about quite a few of our F/Os.

zing! score one for childish antagonism... Surprised nobody took the bait and asked why it was so easy to get to a major for Brown.

Oneflap you're a childish little freak that is living vicariously through your company. You act like you guys have any effect on company strategy or success. Getting hired and enjoying a career at a major is largely luck and timing. I'm glad you're so amped up about picking up the scraps in two markets that are either over saturated or dying....

You make at least $122/hr and you are still on a regional board on Flightinfo. Seriously go get a boat, old car, a hot hooker, some new golf clubs or something that will be a much better way to spend your time and all of your money. Kind of pathetic that you are on this site. If you need some help I've got a million ways you can spend your money. Just ask.
