SLC took a little more time because you were helping the company out by acting as ACP in BUF while we opened the base, which we were very appreciative of. When you did go to SLC you were given an early 1900 type rating (outside of your seniority) as a thank you. Please don't forget that the "Company" is made up of people, most of whom are your friends and that when you bash the "Company" it's really your friends whom you are trashing on...
Cool the jets there whoever you are. I NEVER pointed a finger to any individual. I don't know why certain decisions regarding my amflight career were made or who made them. I really don't care. It's beside the point. I just wanted to shed light on what happened to me in OMA because, whether compensated for down the road or not, I feel it shouldn't have happened. I was trying to keep most of the details under wraps but now that you have made my entire amflight career public info you have just proved my point. I just hope no one else has to go through all that I did. I really do appreciate all the help I was granted but I would give up all the promotions I was granted ahead of others to have just been based where I wanted to be and where my seniority should have taken me. I never asked for special treatment. Just to be based somewhere I desired when my seniority would allow me to hold it.
I don't hold any grudge against anyone nor am I trying to make enemies with anyone. Just putting in my 2 cents on an open forum. I think that's fair. I think amflight is a great place for pilots to go become better pilots and I urge anyone to go there. I wouldn't be the pilot I am now without those 3.5 years and am grateful for it. Sorry to have offended you.
