If you are getting your resumes together, remember this: The airlines with the highest pay aren't hiring, the ones with the lowest are.

Completely correct!!!
Although the ones hiring with the lowest pay are also the ones with the quickest upgrade times (CHQ, Mesa, Trans States etc.) So, if you can handle the lower pay and QOL, just get in, get your seniority number, get your time, work a second job, and GET OUT!!! All in all, over the year you're only talking about a couple of hundred bucks and you can offset that if you work hard both flying and at some sort of second job! You'll be in and out of places like that before many at Comair or Eagle have seen their third year in the right seat!
Just my 2 cents.
 
Nice try, get out to were? Enjoy were you are at. Pay your bills and go on a good vacation. It will be a long time before you can go any place better.
 
Yes, the crap regionals DO have the quickest upgrades. So what? If you don't like it your just jealous because your stuck as an FO longer than you want to be. Boo Hoo. Enjoy your "Above Industry Average" FO pay as you sit in the right seat 4ever.

That's the funniest thing I've read on here since TopGunMav mastered the B1900.
 
A lot of these companies you would upgrade to pay less then the top rated regionals so that is fine if you want to fly as a "captain" with 1,000 hours getting paid CFI pay. Just remember when it has been 5 years and you still can't afford new shoes, you did this to yourself.
 
So I saw an ad in the most recent Flying mag that said something to the extent of "guaranteed $35,000 job after completing our ab initio training program...." and had a pic of an Eagle ERJ on the ad...with the lettering airbrushed out. What's up with that ad? Although I'm not an airline guy I was sure that newbies at Eagle don't see that much coin the first year....what gives?

Exactly.

What we're looking at with this frenzy to "Get the growth at any cost" so "I can upgrade faster" is really no different than TopGunMav and his buddies buying time in the right seat of a 1900. Sacrificing $ in exchange for a perceived career short cut. Except that the reality is, those guys will be at BottomFeeder Airways for 5 years or more before there's any real hiring at the majors. Maybe someday they'll wake up (5 years later), making 50 grand a year, looking at making 51 next year, and realize what they've done to themselves and to the profession.

But hey, who are we to keep you from buying into the dream Kit Darby and Johnny O are selling, right?

Notice it said "95% Hired at $35,000 per year!". I think that is like the opposite of the saying, "a little bit pregnant".

What the hell does 95% hired mean? Its like when Clinton said, "Define IS".

I would think that someone could say they was 95% hired if they got an interview or at least recognition that HR recieved a resume.
