Ok, so it's still bottom of the barrel international widebody time with horrendous schedules but great crews, etc etc. Let's say someone still wants to roll the dice: What's the hiring outlook? Are they more inclined towards RJ pilots or 135 freightdogs? I've heard training is tough, what's the washout rate? What's the consensus on why guys wash out? Competitive mins? You know the drill.

Thanks.

Russian,
Who do you fly the 727 for? Just curious.

Training is kinda tough just because they throw so much at you in such a short period of time. I don't think the washout rate is all that high because if they take the time and $ to hire and train you, if they think you are salvageable they will give you some extra training. Pay is at the bottom and so is the schedule. Having said that, if I wasn't married I'd probably still be there. I really liked flying the -10 and everyone I worked with was pretty cool.
