You missed my entire point. I was playing devils advocate to the guy who said flow ups didn't "earn" their jobs. As far as I am concerned anyone who pays some dues and is qualified has earned their job. Once I found out I had flow rights to NWA I quit pursuing other jobs and even turned down a few great offers. I also know many others who did the same thing. I don't care how someone I fly with gets hired. All I care about is that they are competent and qualified. I am very lucky to be where I am, never said I wasn't. Just because you are in the right place at the right time doesn't mean you didn't earn your job.
