Has it come to this?

I've been thinking about my next move this coming summer... I may have some opportunities that will keep my in Jacksonville, FL (my home and where I have a house) but I keep asking myself, "if 121 is ultimately where I want to end up, there's no good reason to keep putting it off". The only problem is that the one company I would like to work for would be a hellish commute from JAX and there really aren't many bases that are an "easy commute" from here. So naturally that complicates things. Do I sell the house and start over somewhere else with the family in tow? Do I keep the house and make a horrible commute to reserve for a year or more? But that's life, tough choices. All of the ones mentioned in the OP's post are not on my list. I'd like to see how Republic's new contract looks and obviously Skywest has a good contract... But who knows what will be prove to be a good choice in a few years. It's crazy times for the regionals no matter where you go.
 
If you have multiple airlines recruiting you, it's much easier to choose airline A over airline B,C or D. However, if you're determined to fly for a 121 carrier with less than optimal experience, you may have to go with plan D,E or F to get the experience you need which will then afford you the luxury of being picky about who you choose to fly for. By the way, I'm one of the friends who recommended exploring "all options" to get the ball rolling. Sometimes our options today aren't always as perfect as we would like them to be. I've explored and experienced some pretty dark valleys in my aviation journey and it's nothing we all can't live through, at least temporarily.

I suppose the other option is to not fly commercially at all. That solves most of these issues right there....

So what you're saying is that Tracy needs a "slump buster."

So your sarcasm is suggesting that we praise them, in Doug Taylor's personal suite, for suggesting GLA and Mesa. Is this so??

Maybe those are the ones that were recommended based on what those who suggested it believed the OP could succeed at?

I have no idea.

That's what I took from his post. It certainly didn't seem like he was denouncing you or the other 3 folks.

I read the whole thing as having tongue firmly planted in cheek. And I only feel qualified to post in this thread since Tracy has driven me to at least one bar in my past. : -)
