I know I wont be at a regional forever so if I can get PHX as my base and not commute that would be great! If I could make all the regional carriers call me for an interview and an offer I probably wouldnt pick Mesa or Pinnacle, but thats what I have right now and Im not waiting around for the hiring to stop. Being patient!!?? You think about that when your sitting in the right seat of that 170 after 5 years.
That's a bold statement from a guy who hasn't even proved that he can cut it in the industry yet. Good luck with making it into the left seat at Pinnacle or Mesa within the next 5 years yourself. No more airplanes coming at Pinnacle and I wouldn't expect a whole lot more from Mesa either. Another 50 170's on the property at CHQ between now and the same time next year per our CEO in a memo to the employees. Good luck. You'll be lucky to make it into a regional at all with that attitude.
