Just kidding, and maybe it's the way things come across over the internet, but if your attitude is perceived like I'm perceiving it now, you'll never make it past the interview.
Too bad that's only fractionally true and not enough to preclude me from a job anywhere because it won't match my resume. I don't work at IASCO, I'm not nearing 1,500 hours and good luck convincing them to eliminate everyone with an embry riddle degree and an A&P to try to screw me because of things said on the internet. I'm sure you have the power to get an airline to burn down the barn because you think there's a rat hiding in one hay bale.
Maybe I should go get a real degree though.
I don't think I'm too good to fly the bro, and it's a step up from where I am, but do most turboprop jobs not lead to flying RJs, when if you play your cards right you can end up there anyway? I'm not working at a flight school, and my QOL seems too high to wait years to get the timing just right so that I can bend over backwards to make nothing and continue to fly propellor driven aircraft. I'm 38 years old, and I'm over begging someone to fly a 'suck it up because it might possibly help your career' plane.
Kudos to all of you who will be rushing to fight 400 to 1 for bro positions when Skywest starts hiring.
I'm old enough to not want to wait in line for 4 hours just for the 20% chance I'll get to ride the rollercoaster before the park closes.
It's a great job for a 24 year old with a good degree and the motivation to take a few hits and setbacks. Flying up and down the West Coast in a turboprop sounds like a blast. This is my favorite part of the world to fly in, and I'm thankful for it.
