I think the biggest problem here in the States is the large supply of Regional CA's and FO's. There isn't any movement at all. Getting into UPS, FEDEX and SWA?...you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning twice. Still way too many pilots in the States. Things are getting better though...but it will take some time to clear-up the backlog of pilots. Regionals treat their pilots very poorly...so CX looks pretty good to many here in the States.
I keep hearing these CX training dept horror stories. Some say it's exagerated, other say they are true. I can't see how a company can fire people on a "whim" after spending all that time and money on training. Any clarifications on these stories?
All-in all, I would rather take my chances at CX, than battling it out in regional airline hell...
