He's perfect for the regionals!!!!!!!!

Am I the only one who get a little nervous when dead heading and the crew makeup is like this post? Captain that looks like he will be carded for a beer for the next 10 years, and FO filling out there voters registration card.

http://forums.airlinepilotcentral.com/images/icons/icon5.gif ExpressJet and Chautauqua, and timing a wedding/timing my job
I am a 20 year old flight instructor in Fort Pierce, FL. I am about to start a program that will get me through to either Express Jet or Chautauqua. The program holder is RAA (Regional Airline Academy). Does anybody know anyone that commutes during their reserve period for either Chaut or Express Jet? I live in the PBI/FLL and willing to be (MCO) based areas. I REALLY want to get on w/ Chautauqua because they have two bases right next door to me (FLL/MCO). But if things are roses at Express Jet (EJ?) then I will most likely bite the bullet and pay my dues away from home. The problem is this: Like most are aware, being a single man is pratically the only way to survive the first year.... I am engaged and plan on getting married Feb 1st.... any and all input on whether to get married first, then try to get on w/ chaut or express jet, or should I get on w/ one of them first then try to get married? I have a feeling getting married after getting a job w/ one of them would nearly be impossible.

Any input on Chautauqua? I am very close to starting a program w/ RAA that will supposedly let me "skip" the 23 minimum age rule (I'm 20). I want to hear the good/bad/ugly about Chautauqua, the fair word on them. I have heard nothing but good things about Express Jet. So how about Chautauqua?

What does anyone think of RAA (Regional Airline Academy)? Any word on how legit RAA is as far as their claims that I will be able to bypass the 23 year age limit for Chautauqua? Or does anyone have their recruiting number so I can call PERSONALLY and ask if they will honor such a claim. I feel that I am at a cross-roads in my life... and I need to make the right decisions to make everything work out in the long run. I dont CARE about hourly pay.... I care about where I live and as long as I am going to get Capt. when I turn 23, then I have 2 1/2 years waiting to be one anyhow due to age on the ATP! Anyhow, please fill me in guys/gals. I really appreciate the help and support.
Best Regards,
Jason Leonard

Then don't get on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh, there are lot of young 121 captains out there (24,25). Mostly, they're not crashing. (self at 25 and proud of it - before you flame, it was a crud airline in a 1900... but 121 nonetheless JUST LIKE your RJ,A380 or 747. The airline was cruddy before I arrived and it's still cruddy I'm sure.)

This poor kid getting bashed IS THE FUTURE of our business. Yes, like the EMB190 and the CRJ-900!! Educate him/her. Don't rip him/her.

You were once 18 and wishing you could fly a 747. You would have given a nard to have a chance. This kid is no different.

No, I choose to rip on him/Her!!!!!!!!!!, you politically correct douchebag!

20 years old, getting married, wants to be captain by 23. I am more amazed that he is so committed that he must be married at 20. Guy cannot even drink yet (legally). Wow, what is he thinking that young! Hope he gets out of Florida before he is divorced!

You can paint a turd whatever color you want to...it's still a turd.

Yall dorks can fly all the dumb passengers you want, but me and my wife are not spending one thin red dime on your regional jets.

I'll ride with Mesaba on any flights and I'll ride with Air Willy and Midex Express, but all the rest can kiss my lilly white ass.

Got more milage out of the flamebait here than on the other board.

Forget all the other issues.

The #1 problem is the guy wants to get married at age 20. Go to college, meet hot chicks and let nature take its course.

What a grizwald, anybody with priorites so far out of whack should never find his way into the cockpit of an airplane.

One of the shrewdest observations I've ever seen on this board. This guy's idea of a fun overnight will be dinner with the crew at TGI Friday's with absolute emphasis on flying stories! Awesome!

[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica]Be very careful with RAA[/FONT] [FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]I am an RAA graduate. My question to you is this, what part of their program are you getting involved in? I went through their program from instrument to commercial and then got my type rating in the CRJ. Remember, they are just a flight school making lots of promises so they can keep their planes in the air. Once you sign a contract with them your sunk. No way out. My type rating at CAE cost me about $30,000.00. Any extra sessions you take beyond the 7 they give you are at $600.00 an hour. And you will probably not do it in 7. I just hate to see you get suckered into spending money you don't have to. RAA program is O.K. but remember...they're not in business to get you a job, they're in business to make money.[/FONT]

Check please!!

It's in the mail!!!:beer:

 

[CAVOK69]

what in the hell is so wrong with being a captain at 23 guys? or what about 21? As long as you have the proper flight experience, y'all know that age is not an issue what so ever. Is a 35 year old with 2500 hours any better qualified than a 22 year old w/ the same time? Heck NO! It is all about quality and quantity of time (more so the first),total flight experience and good airmanship.

I agree this guy should pay attention to the type of pay he will recieve and getting married at 20 is way too young for me. But other than that, why bash him? He is just very focused, there are alot of people who wish they knew like he does what he wants to do with his life at that age
