Being a realist, I rarely kid myself. But this otherwise pleasant and encouraging thread just took an ugly turn.
By your criteria, ANYONE who takes a job with a regional or the likes of Atlas/Southern/ATI/Omni/Swift/National/Western Global/Miami Air/Sun Country, E3 or US citizen, is a "scab" ? Really ? Scab ? You might want to seek out a dictionary and some historical context before using such an inflammatory term.
Explain how people are going to go from being a 1500 hour CFI to UAL, AA, DL, SWA, FedEx,UPS, JB, Spirit, Frontier without a career-building stop somewhere along the way. These stops have
ALWAYS been less than ideal and will always be less than ideal. It's been endlessly debated and decried to no avail...as it will be here.
You might want to properly use the term, scab, rather than just lobbing a fuzzy, emotional, intellectually dishonest hand grenade into a conversation.
