What's important to you in an airline?

It seems like 135 turboprop PIC is worth basically nothing to the majors. Don't know about 121 prop time.

The majors are picking up our Brasilia captains left and right.

Draw your own conclusions.

It wasn't 24 years ago when I was hired by a major. Nowadays I really don't know, but some of the younger guys here might have better intel on that.

There are a few C5 alums at both United and Airways. More at the latter, but a few at the former.

If it was only Right I wouldn't be surprised...But left and right...now im surprised.

Pay & contract is important to me.

Benefits then pay....even if your pay is higher at airline y but your benefits (in our case health ins) cost upward of $8,000 a year, your actually keeping more if you make a little less at airline x but your health ins cost $1000 instead. After that I'd say bases and proximity to where you live/commutability.

I'm a year and a half to two away best case scenario, but for me in order of importance:

Base.
Time off.
Pay.
Everything else.

And where the engines are.

Not an airline pilot, but I would imagine,

Safety>Culture>future>QOL>pay>base

Ehhhhh, if you can somewhat navigate a "smart phone" I think you can handle the situation you said above. I went from a plane with no fms to one that is built around the fms with little trouble. I do know what you are getting at though, I just enjoy being difficult.

Who doesn't?

After doing this job for a few months I am starting to realize that safety, schedule, and qol are most important.
