Listen I'm not making excuses for the guys here that are in it for the long haul that are hurting the company right now but they are ****ed. I understand that, but please tell me what a guy who has been here 6 mos can do other than show up and fly? We aren't working for an ad firm or an architectural firm that promotes creative thinking. You have a singular job that involves flying an airplane from point to point safely while keeping the passengers as comfortable as possible. Nothing more
As far as the training costs? Isn't the what I said, if you come here then leave within the two years you should pay restitution because it will cost the company money?
These stepping stone pilots I'm talking about are the ones who willingly take a job here knowing they want to go somewhere else. They are lying in the interview at the least.
I never said I'd rather fly with a company guy. Those guys are on the far end of the spectrum and will never pull there head of of the sand. I also dont want to fly with the all the time bashing the company guy either. They make me so friggin tired by the end of a 4 day. I like flying with anyone who likes Beer!!!!
I hope we don't make people pay to come here. That would be the lowest of the lowes.
Well put. The middle of the road guys are usually amicable and fun to fly with. I have found that the Pro CBA / pro company guys/girls are the most interesting to have conversation with. The lets burn this place down or the dripping blue juicers are the most annoying to fly with. Just my opinion, no facts at all in this/my post. As for a six month pilot showing up is all that can be expected of you nothing more / nothing less.
