Pilot, dispatch, crew scheduling, quality assurance, human resources, information technologies...does it honestly matter to you?
I know, you ran an IP ping and it states mostly all you really care about. If I really wanted to hide I would run every post through a proxy.

I have no idea man, it is something I think about just about every day. It sure is frustrating. Do we stay and wait for upgrade or maybe get out of here with no PIC, try to go to another regional and chase an upgrade while taking a huge hit on pay, or just up and quit and find another job to do? We are looking down the barrel of possibly being a 7,8 maybe even 9 year FO here. I hope we see some serious movement here soon otherwise I am leaning to just finding something else to do then just quit.

If I were you I would sit tight, stay where you are, keep sending your apps, and keep your eyes and ears open.
F.O.'s are getting calls at the majors, just like captains with TPIC and college degrees aren't.
The only scenario where I would start over at the bottom of another regional would be if I'd been sat on the shelf for a while and need to get current again, or the other regional was hiring street captains.
Things are happening fast in this industry right now. Those of us who are current and qualified just need to be patient.

I guess the point is you're not a pilot at XJT or ASA, therefore your presence here is mere trolling and your thoughts on the subject are totally irrelevant.

Oh, good. I'll just stick to threads with SkyWest in the title and develop tunnel syndrome. Thanks! And dont let me catch you posting in any of those threads either. If you want to be childish about it. Cool?

If they were to organize we could all collaborate together in order to make this prison better for all of us, not just them. It's a perfect analogy of what is going on.
It's a stupid analogy because you're NOT in prison. You're an employee for a company based in a right to work state. You can get out any time you want to. Please hurry. Free yourself "Nevets".

Well at least you have the option to stay where you are. Most people get furloughed or laid off at least once in their careers and its never at an ideal time.
If I were you I would sit tight, stay where you are, keep sending your apps, and keep your eyes and ears open.
