Ttuine,

It was fun because you were young and moved on to a career airline. I know guys that have been furloughed from multiple regionals. A buddy of mine just was picked up by Spirt with over 9,000. He was downgraded to FO at his regional. Look at your senoirty list check out the bottom of the list it does not contain youg people. He'll American hasn't hired since 1998!!!!

You can fly 1500 hours or you can fly 1 hr 1500 times. What would be a better candidate, a guy with 1500 hours where all he has done is fly the traffic pattern, day in day out to get his 1500 hours, or a guy with 600 hrs but all of that cross country time in challenging weather, terrain, visibility?

Hours mean experience, until an hour is just repeated over and over again.

How many guys do you know who flew around the pattern 1hr at a time for 1500hrs? You can come up with all of the scenarios you like, lets just be realistic.

Jerking gear for a regional does provide for some experience. It's just very repetitive.

Personally, I like the guys who are making there own decisions, wrong or right, while managing all aspects of the trip. It's just a different time, the quality is still good, but the experience is vastly different.
