I about fell off of my couch laughing. Next time, make sure you know what you're talking about as it only makes you look like an idiot.

I've always said, you can't fix stupid and this is just another example.

I agree. When you have a pilot group that is so overwhelmingly junior, you're bound to have a large number of young, ignorant, selfish pilots.

It's not their fault, they just don't know any better. Many of them walked off the stage at Purdue (and other aviation colleges) straight into the right seat at CHQ, and upgraded into the 170 after 1.5-2 years. The rest is history.

They were lucky, don't get me wrong, but I think its this fast career progression that has molded these pilots beliefs into what they are today.

I know plenty of 3+ year FOs at RAH, none of whom went to Purdue. Maybe you should try another angle instead of grouping all of their pilots into one category, before making assumptions like that?

It's duck hunting season...

Note my use of the word many. I can use bold, too.

The above scenario would apply to the 2003-early 2006 hires. Guess I should have included that. If you're trying to tell me I'm wrong, and there aren't a lot of guys there that have had a career exactly as I've described, you're crazy. I've had at least 100 take me to work over the past 5 years.

I don't expect anyone from RAH to agree with me, as most of them don't see it, and as you pointed out, it doesn't apply to everyone.

Happy 4th of July. God bless America.

It's called involuntary displacements. It's not like GoJets where you willingly took a position on their seniority list. That fact right there says everything there is to say about you.

hahaha well how are the "involuntary displacements" going? Well if you're gona make that acusation about the SL which I had no control over are you going to leave from RAH now that you are actually replacing mainline pilots with their airplanes. Oh SNAP! The regionals, like high school all over again.
