I don't give a tenth of a crap what the company wants, needs, or thinks when it comes to their hiring of pilots. That is also actually not relevant to the discussion at hand.
Regional CA vs LCC FO...

It's hard to predict this industry. Who would have guessed SWA would have been the place to be after 9/11 while legacy was about furloughs, 40% pay cuts and bankruptcies. Times are great now for everybody but we could see the LCC's retain the stability during the next economic downturn.

I realized when I read it just now I should have said I'm grateful for my experiences in the last 6 years since I left the regional not two years that was a typo. It's a little disheartening when your own Union is having a free resume prep day though, I don't see other carriers doing this. Either way I can't turn back time and decide to stay at my regional so I'm making the best of what I can. Where I am now is a hundred times better than my previous ULCC.

And 10 times better than any regional...
It's like ground hog day trying to explain block vs credit.

I've always chuckled a bit when people say things like this. At many airlines line captains make more than all but the highest executive levels. At my last airline I made roughly half what I would've made on the line as a captain when I worked in the Safety department. It is better at my current airline for management pilots in terms of pay, but it is still a job that you have to really enjoy to put up with the politics and work schedule. You may be home more, but you're actually working FAR more.
Anywho...thanks for the laugh.

Oh believe me, I know. There is a reason why I have no interest in management. I'm way too lazy for that.

I didn't used to, and then they chucked me in the left seat with a new hire.
(I'm not expressly disagreeing with you insofar as you are correct in saying it is NOT a line pilot responsibility, merely disagreeing with the degree to which I care about how pilots are selected at my employer. Of course, we have wholly different recruiting situations at our respective companies as well.)
