Let's take a look at the amount of metal usair parked in the desert in the past 2 decades. That's what I was referring to for a failed career at usair. Sorry, but that's the truth.
And yes, I too have had a great career of 22,000 hours so far.
Aviation changes...how about the usair east?
I'll put my career up against any west pilot hired on the same date. There is just one US Airways, and I hate to break it to you, you're part of it, so we're in the same boat going forward. I'm well aware of life's changes, east pilots are dealing with it and deal with what the future brings.
Jim, if a guy has 25 years and is on the EMB it is by choice, he/she doesn't have to be.
