Are you serious? The mustard I cut fills my logbook with jet time. I don't have a spot for big and small RJ time. They are all RJs, no one cares about how much it weighs. Get over it. You are talking about a few thousand pounds and it's the same type. You should be more concerned about never upgrading and sitting reserve for years. I'd go somewhere else if I were a new hire.

The question is how long to wait. We aren't getting any younger. Me personally I would like to start a family soon. I don't want to start a family when I'm 40. I can't start one now bc I don't make enough money, I have high student loans and my girlfriend is in the same boat. I don't know how long I can be patient and wait while this job takes away the simple things in life because I want to fly for the majors. Hopefully we all have a chance soon with all of the jobs that are opening up. I think most of us will have a shot, but this waiting game here at Expressjet with no light at the end of the tunnel for the past 6 years and the foreseeable future, is getting old.
The wait sucks... a lot. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, we just can't quite see it yet. Upgrade at L-ASA? Probably not. I'm less than 100 from the most jr CA but I don't see it happening. We're more likely to get picked up at a major carrier before we see a left seat at L-ASA. Hiring will pick up again this fall as UAL gets through their backlog of training and DAL will hire even more. Spirit, Virgin America, JetBlue, AA and USAir are all hiring as well. It will happen.

I had the same thing happen bc my temporary license expired after 120 days and I hadn't given them a copy of my permanent. You can upload it or just give a copy to the chief pilots office.

The only thing I need to get over is the attitude thats both defeating and depressing sometimes on this forum from people who just want to flame on and not aid the conversation.
ufff

First I love how you dont know what your talking about ( yes the Mid East Carriers want people want heavier aircraft experience NO 135/45 or CR2 ). Second I enjoy how you just want to yell at people looking for information yet ask something does not sound right to you.

I simply cannot wrap my mind around the entitlement mentality of Generation Me. You'll only go work for a regional flying "heavy" RJs. Then proceed to start telling people off for calling you out on it.
Do you guys realize how many new hires we've had terminated before they put in a year for things like refusing to show up for IOE because they didn't get the base they wanted, raising hell because they didn't get the aircraft they wanted, calling in sick repeatedly on probation, salling in sick and jumpseating/non reving on probation, telling off instructors/check airmen, etc...
This so called "pilot shortage" has made newhires of the participation trophy generation think the airlines owe them a job. That the airlines need them more than they need the airlines. It's astounding.

Not to make it a he said she said but apparently you didnt read his response to my original plain vanilla question. Not sure where all the rest came from out of that. Regardless it was eventually answered by some other folks.
Cheers.
Cheers.
