I started this thread a while back and can't believe it is still open. Good job to everyone, even those with different points of view. We are all brother and sister aviators who need as much information as possible. These are the worst times in aviation I can remember in my career, which is approaching its 25th year. Damn, I am getting old. If I could just quit acting like a 15 year old!

Just be sure to remember to fly safe and don’t let someone talk you into something there at G7 that will get you violated or worse yet the unthinkable.
Good Luck with your endeavors.

Dear GoJet Pilot:
Please don't intreduce yourself as a United Express pilot when you're trying to jumpseat. No such airline exists. You guys are always welcome to the jumpseat!
Merry New Year

I received a confirmation call from Kathy the other day to make sure I was still going to show up for the Jan 3rd class. I informed her that I would be there but there is no way in hell that I'm going to show up. I thought I would show up for the first day then never return but its not worth a spit in the bucket to do that.
The only industry that does not pay for experience is the airline industry. Get furloughed and start at the bottom because the union aint gonna help you and management loves it because any monkey with the mins can do it for cheaper.
I'm leaving the industry for good and I'm going to an asst. manager of customer realtions job that has a starting SALARY of 76,300. I also get better benefits than any crapline has to boot. Also I can make up to 40% of my SALARY as a bonus if the company meets targeted goals. History has shown that it has never paid out less than 92% of of annual bonus. It might be a 9-5er but I also get every other friday as half days.
Lets see... No overnights, no airports, no Jepp revesions, no recurrent, no hotels, no weekends, no holidays, no uniforms, no UNIONS, no *****ing from the other seat, no travel, no bidding every month, no senority, no UNION DUES, and did I say no UNIONS? Also did I mention its a SALARY and not an hourly job like Taco Bell. Wait, Taco Bell pays more for their counter help than all regional and some major airlines pays their first, second, third year pilots.
It took me 18yrs (2 regionals, 2 majors and a corporate gig) to realize the error of my ways.
I really hope it screws up their training class and sim cycles that I'm not there.

"Who do you work for?"
"CommutAir (then without missing a beat), it's one of the United Expresses out of Newark"
Let's face it, when you work for a no-name airline, you gotta throw that down. Especially when you're at some random airport trying to commute home.
I'd say 3/4 of the mainline pilots I talk with while commuting haven't heard of any regional outside of Eagle, Wisky, Skywest, or Colgan/Gulfstream/Lakes (none of those in a good way) unless they worked there.
