It amazes me how many people b*tch and complain about working for RAH and tell everyone to go elsewhere and yet they've never been elsewhere themselves. They think the grass is greener at other carriers and have no clue that they'd be b*tching and complaining just as much if they were somewhere else. Is the contract perfect at RAH? No, but neither is it at any other regional. There's always something to b*tch about. If its so bad then why are they still sticking around? Just my .02. I've been dealt a few bad cards in my aviation career and just pushed through it and worked hard to move on. Best part, no jet PIC. So, yes you can move on.
The majority of the senior FO's (2007 hires) came from other regionals. Most were from Mesa, TSA, or Skyway...yes we've seen the grass on the other side, and yes this grass that used to be good, now sucks!

Yup. #126 before the interlopers came in and knocked me down to 600-something.
I would have enjoyed commanding the mighty Fifi but the real satisfaction would have come from evicting a squatter from my seat. That is why I stayed...
..oh, wait. I didn't. I reckon I didn't care that much about that after all.
That bit of hubris sure contributed to the mess, didn't it?

That number was as meaningless as the 600-ish number. Our level of interest in each other's seats was about equal, I think. The only ones who were coveting the airbii were the ones that went over during the hiring boom.
One of those guys I flew with; another is very vocal on these boards. If they are representative of the culture, that to me is an added bonus of not staying around to take my rightful and entitled place in your seat.

Isn't it the same grass as it was in 07'. You take the chances when you make lateral moves.

I wonder HOW you "worked hard" to move on. Please give us some idea because if there is anything I haven't tried I'll give it some thought.

Glad to know I'm awesome. Thanks! Obviously, you just sit and wait for something to happen. I feel sorry for the future guys/gals that'll have to sit next to you and hear you b*tch and complain.
