[QUOTE=Jetjok;118398]But maybe he should lighten up a bit, seeing as how he's getting a good deal at the expense of someone else who might have had equal or better credentials, and been here longer, and thusly earned it more.

I can assure you that the "Good Ole boy network" had ZERO to do with my selection. It had everything to do with my credentials and remember from my email to you.....the company researched and tracked me down to fill a specific requirement, not the other way around. Ask those who made the decision why there was not a posting, and if their decision would have been any different. After being assured of those exact concerns, I accepted the job knowing I would only be paid as a SO and required to maintain currency in two aircraft and three seats (basically 3 PC's per year).

I did not, and will not accept "a good deal at the expense of someone else". I challenge you to find a posting that requires a specific seniority, maybe a seat position but not a seniority. And oh by the way, my job is temporary only, I will be back on the line. The full time position did go to the senior pilot.

Hope that answers your question and if not you have my number, please call and I can fill you in on many many more intricacies of this job (good/bad).
