Several reasons perhaps....build hrs, SJS, ego, etc...
The high timers hate this because we're "taking away" their jobs....much how like majors hate the regionals for "taking away" their routes...
If they were in our shoes...they would have done the same damn thing...so whats the deal then?
Paying my dues as a CFI because the ones before us had to also??
sure...I'll jump off a cliff to join your sorority
You're not taking my job first of all. But when you sit to the right of me and can't pull your weight,you may not have a job. This is a team effort like none you have ever seen. You need us, we don't need you. We can find more FO's. The company really wants Captains. Some never get there. It takes more then just flying. Remember that. You've not been in the airline environment yet. Captains are managers of many people. When you say hours, think experience. In all these posts you can hear inexperience. Get your training, get in here and learn, OJT. This whole thing about 250 hr pilot are just as good as 1000hr pilots is bull!! Ask the insurance companies. Statistics don't lie.
