Hey all,
I don't mind anyone answering this question, but I guess I'm looking for answers mainly from people working at the major carriers and cargo operations. I know the economy is complete crap right now, and that I should just be thankful I have a job dispatching at this point....but I still can't help but continually be focused on the future and trying to get myself in a position to get on with a major fairly soon. I keep trying to tell myself that since I'm only 29 years old, maybe by the time the economy turns around that there will then come that exodus of people at the majors looking to retire and that I would be in a prime position to move on. I don't really know what the make up of the work force is at most of the majors....is it mostly an older staff, a younger staff, or a decent mix of both? Can anyone at the major 121 or cargo carriers give me a idea if I even have a reason to be optimistic, or should I pretty much be preparing myself to live out my days at a regional? Thank you.
