I've flown with a few captains who don't want to become check airman for that reason

That is false... But they do ask prospective LCA's if they plan on leaving...

So I am thinking of moving to the majors, and Allegiant has a pilot meet and greet in CVG on Monday. You think it is worth going and working for them?

Actually that is exactly what came from the HR dept. they have agreements with all the partners on numbers of pilots that will be hired from OO. It is complete crap but it does exist.

I beg to differ... It's completely false.

Actually True. A few years ago Jerry and Chip both went to DL and UA and made the case for not hiring too many too fast or the feed would suffer. UA does hire quite a number of ExpressJet pilots in relation to Skywest pilots. But the Skywest numbers are lower overall.

I'm smelling bull****.... If it were that easy every single CEO would be begging the majors to do the same thing.

When you select SkyWest and view their hiring mins, it says 1500 TT and 200 cross country. Is that reduced for the reduced ATP mins? I did not attend an accredited University so I would need 500 cross country correct?
