There were 100 newhires per month for years starting in 96, but you are right, not too many guys had the "Learch" look like I did. So, why is it that you are still an FO on the E120 when you were hired back on the Navajo in the mid 80s? Did you get a DUI or bust multiple FAA rides to become unmarketable to any other carrier? No college? "Uncle" Steve's grip too tight on you? It's gotta be one of those. So, what will your airline do when 15,000 slots open at the 3 legacies over the next decade? That plus new hiring minimums will make staffing a challenge. It will be interesting, but at least we know you and "Uncle" Steve will be there in TWF, ready to keep the planes flying, from the right seat anyway....

There ya go again with the just plain juvenile mean, I will ask again what is exactly wrong with being an EMB120 F/O? You aren't even a pilot so that EMB F/O has something you will never have, 121 time in their logbook. So sorry to burst your fantasy, nope no DUI, more college than I care to remember, and the ability to pass every FAA ride, including multiple types without muss nor fuss, so no drunks, flunks or any of your other fantasies.
I will move on when the right airline calls, taking my time and choosing wisely, unlike you, until airlines get desperate enough to hire zit encrusted, basement dwelling, booger eating, goobers, with the writing skills equilavent to an 8th grader, you will remain living in you moms basement, and pounding on the plastic blow up doll you call your wife, and working on getting to 35,000 posts.
Your homoerotic statements tell more about your personality than you will ever know, bring it up with your therapist, maybe after you get those fluttering hands under control, you can work on your latent homosexual tendencies, and come out of the closet, or in your case the basement. It's OK, be all that you can be, if you are gay that's OK, being yourself is what matters.
