When you walk around with your hair all spiked out, it doesn't look professional. When you walk around wearing a half dozen rings on various fingers, you don't look professional. When you walk around wearing a windbreaker and sunvisor, you don't look professional...IMHO.

I'm sorry, but this latest generation coming into the workforce is pretty sad. These people are EXPECTING to be offered whatever job they want because mommy and daddy said thats what should happen. Its a generation of entitlement. They show up at interviews in flipflops and little hippy skirts. Had a flight attendant refuse a junior man...she called her mom after receiving it, her mom said she didn't have to do it, so as she was marching off the airplane past us she says "my momma says I don't have to do no XXX turn" and proceeded to walk of the aircraft. Pretty soon you're going to start seeing parents going to these job recruitment fairs, trying to get little Bobby or Julie their first flying gig. Unbelievable...

As far as the regionals "stealing" the flying from the majors...whatever. The majors had their chance to fly all the RJ's they wanted, but they thought they were too good for them and didn't want to fly such small aircraft. Thus, they went to the regionals. Although it is amusing, it is still BS that flying is being transferred from one place to another because people stand up for themselves. The biggest BS is that its accepted at someplace like skypest, for whatever reason, but somewhere else its really frowned on. Its the same crap! ASA was suppose to be flying those 900's, but since skypest is willing to fly them for next to nothing...they get them. Unfortunately, its happened before and will happen again.
