My uncle was a Pan Am Captain that got picked up by United when Pan Am got parted out between United and Delta. My cousin (his son) got hired by United. My #1 choice of airlines to work for was United, and in the late 90’s with both of them writing letters of recommendations, I couldn’t even get an interview. Now, 23 years later, non citizens are getting job offers while I will be commuting to work for the last 15 years of my career. Damn, I timed my life poorly.

Regional slave ships? Aren't you guys getting paid six figures with a guaranteed flow now? Hardly slave labor.
When I started at the commuters it was $13,000 per year salary, plus we had to pay for our own training for a 19 seat turboprop with no autopilot, no cockpit door, and no coffee maker, flying 6-10 legs per day. THAT was a slave ship (and looking back on it, I loved every minute of it!)

Ok, I saw the rest of the thread and see if I had read further, my post would have been unnecessary. Sorry. I worked for Mesa in the same area in the late 90’s.
