Hook, line and sinker! You nailed it Carl... finally. Now put this ****ing post to bed.... or get back to constructive arguments. We all agree that Regionals (pay in particular) suck and that the world would be a better place if the flying went back to the mainline. BUT..... for all of the less fortunate ( to that of KING Carl ) that UNfortunately have pursued this career now, when times are different (then when KING Carl joined in) and YES, the mainlines do like to see 121 time on the resume during a market that yields 1 position for every 1,000 that apply... maybe, just maybe, a regional position is one of the few "available" positions we can take to stay CURRENT, remain ATTRACTIVE and continue to build our EXPERIENCE!
I need another Beer... Carl you tire me!

It's good to get out of the echo chamber from time to time. I'm here for you Rance.

Yes, I do see the irony: only by replacing a mainline pilot, can I earn the experience the mainline hiring teams want.

Just curious.
Does Chautauqua do any flying for Frontier?
FAA certificate says DBA Frontier.

I think I am starting to understand you Carl. You actually made me laugh tonight.... thanks. By the way, I am military, still am, on the side.... and the opportunities that you and your gallery preach about from different days really are few and far. I have the time and experience to go mainline... but the phone aint a-ring'n and as much as I joked about walmart.... the wife didn't dig it. Still have the manager's number and can hook ya up on a two-for-one on socks or a belt?

Try quitting the regional job and getting a corporate gig on the side. That'll do it. Otherwise you (NOT Carl!) Are responsible for the demise of the profession.
So Carl, as another poster asked, why aren't all Delta pilots turning down the 747 in order to get that payrate back to where it should be?

I don't really know. Why don't you old-timers tell us?
The more relevant question is "where do the majors get their pilots today?" Answer... REGIONALS!
