For awhile nobody was getting MSP. I think it's pretty junior these days again. My buddies from flight school were getting it assigned in training.

Right now it won't take long at all. I would be willing to bet you could get it right out of training or very shortly there after.

If PSA or Peidmont have a true flow that should way heavily on your decision unless you live in a SKYW domicile and need to stay around there for family reasons.

The good things existed in the past, but not so much any more for a large percentage of OO pilots.

Why do you say that? What has changed?

Corporate greed. Rapid growth. Dwindling quality of life to maximize profits. Skywest used to be special. Now it's just another place ran by bean counters. All regional airlines are turds. At least pick a turd where you get more than 11 days off. Then you can only feel the suck 14-16 days a month. Instead of the 18-19 days here.

So I take it the negotiations aren’t going well?
