Just goes to show you, it doesn't matter how good you are or how motivated you are, some things are just beyond your control.
Your attitude, however, is definitely in your control, and I can guarantee you that it will NEVER get you hired.

Timing, pal. I hit my magic 1000 PIC turbine in May 2001. Just when things started to look like I was going to get picked up, well thanks Osama and Mohammed, very much.TabExpressF/O said:

Part 135 does not require FAs for 19 seats
Bobbysamd,
In the Part 135 or 121 World, aircraft operating with 19 seats or less do not require flight attendants other than your friend from Tab Express (just kidding). That goes for Metros or B1900s.
I went to Deland Florida and saw their operation, Tab Express. I felt sad for them instead of angry. All their pilots drink the same (I'm going to be flying a 757 next month) cool-aid. They are a 135 operator or 121 supplemental that adopts many of the airline procedures like flight dispatchers, ramp agents, bad loaders, etc... When I was flying the Metro Part 135 the flight crew did everything because the extra cost would put us out of business. What would it do to a King Air that only seats 6-7? Oh, I forgot.... the pilot in the right is picking up the tab... Maybe they will not go out of business.
When I was going to college for engineering because I could not afford an "aviation career" at TAB, Emby-Riddle, U of I etc... (stands for Tony and Bob no kidding) I was jealous of guys who got all their flying paid for by Daddy. I got my engineering degree, then worked to save money for aviation, then started flying at the bottom. But guess what?, my buddies who got everything paid for them and Daddy worked at American are now furloughed and hate aviation because it doesn't mean anything to them because they didn't earn it.
I still like people who follow their dreams. It's really not his fault that Mom and Daddy are paying for everything. Maybe I would have and now I know it would have been a horrible thing for me. Only now I can see how lucky I was.

You are not getting my point
TabExpressF/O,
They have a seniority number alright but his "dream" and passion for flying is gone. I can tell yours is not gone and hopefully it will never be. I really have no problem with you guys. I would have let Mom and Dad put me there if I would have had the chance. It doesn't mean however that all the guys in aviation will have respect for you. I am glad that my parents were poor and didn't put me there, my life would have not been as wonderful as it has been. Good luck to you.

Re: Drinking TAB or drinking Kool-Aid
Kit Darby & his cohorts should be taken out back and hung like war criminals! I am so sick of these pilot farm places that almost seem to work for the airlines in that they try to flood the market with idiots like TABExpressFO to compete for jobs and therefore drive down wages and quality of life for our profession!
I'll get off my high-horse now.
Thanks
