There is an old saying in Aviation... If you’re a D***head on the east coast then you’re a D***head on the west coast. Aviation is as much about personality as it is about flying. I spoke with a chief pilot who told me he could easily find over a thousand pilots to fly his aircraft, but he was looking for one who wouldn’t make him want to gouge his eyes out in the cockpit.

To those guys who are young, remember that, especially those in the military. Don’t pad your careers on the backs of others and expect to fly civilian after a 20 year military career. To those who are relatively older, if you know you burned any bridges send that guy (gal) an email and apologize for being a recital cavity in your previous life. It doesn’t matter where they work, taking the time to do it will go a ling way in examining how you’ve treated others. If the issue really was their fault, remember there are two view points to every situation. Send the email anyway.

Sorry your buddy didn't get hired, but we like having the opportunity to safeguard our pilot group. It's a very good thing.

1 week (8 days) of vacation after 1 year, two weeks (16 days) after 5 years. I just put my bid in last week.

Hmm.... safeguard your pilot group...a good idea in theory, however that is in a perfect world and company!
