The news sounds sad over there. Cant say I miss the place, only the people I worked with. HOW DID A CORPEX POST GET THIS LONG!!!!!!!
Whats the word on Air Midwest taking over some STL routes?
Because only the ignorant think that mesa, gggoooojjjetss and others are leading the race to the bottom...the truth is that they don't stand a chance. The race has already been won.
In fact I think that if you go back two DO's (RDU era) the trophy is on his mantel...
Excuse me...I'm going over to Sticky Fingers and get deafened some more by the cover band...I will hoist a pint for you guys though-I hope you all find better compensation soon!
Tram-you comment about the movie-well, consider those that don't have a place to leave to when they get their pic time in. Those people that are getting hired by the few good places left are current and qualified in swept wing FMS equipped turbojets. Not much movement for the guys and gals that gambled on the quick upgrade in the turboprop market.
The paradigm has changed. Those folks that bailed saw it first and should be commended for it...smyrna still hasn't caught on and that's why you are stuck with 1990 AE pay...they used corpex as a stepping stone-even HQ will tell you that is what it is. By doing so they springboraded past many folks that stayed, expecting to leave for a job outside the regional market and will end up in a far more robust financial position.
Belch,
While I do respect your point of view, seeing that you have much more time and experience than myself in the industry, I do have to disagree on the point about T-Prop and T-Jet experience. Yes, the RJ's are more inline with equipment flown by the "mainlines" today, however, there are too many cases of people getting hired onto to SWA et. al., from Colgan, CommutAir, Great Lakes, AmeriFlight, and numerous other turbo-prop operators for me to lose hope just yet. Where am I getting this information from, you ask? 95% heresay and conjecture. All I know is that when the time comes to send out resumes, I'll have my 121 turbine time box checked. Time to go back to memorizing my chestlicks.
