Nothing personal, just business.

If you were in my measly 76 seat RJ Jumpseat with that kind of attitude I'd throw you out the window at FL370. You are truly a real POS with the worst outlook.

Attrition and getting tier 1 candidates are two separate things. Our lines are shorter at job fairs, and people leave here for legacies to the tune of about 10 a month right now, and no doubt pay is better elsewhere, but I think the hiring stats and profiles of newhires at JB speak for themselves.

Wow, not a guy I would want backing me up. Click bang, sorry man it's only buisness. There was a higher bid and the money was right. I bet I got shot at more in my 18 years as a medic and fire fighter.

If you were a tier one candidate I'd think you could do a better job of constructing a sentence?

I'm a mainline guy. Be happy to fly an RJ. In fact a lot of people here at DAL would. Many enjoy the 717 "regional flying," along with the QOL that comes with it.

Many look forward to the Cseries arrival.

Many guys have been doing international for 10+ years and LOVE being in the same time zone as home +/-2 hours.

I myself would love to see RJs on a mainline cert. will it happen? Probably not, but I'd bid for CRJ900 CA if it means a good schedule and decent pay.
