My question is how bad is this pouring over into the CRM and the social aspect of things on the job? I was talking to one of the examiners here recently and he told me that one of the CFI's from another University is about to quit his newly acquired airline job because everyone hates him because he was so low time at hire. It could be distorted and he just sucks as a person....I have no idea. He complains of things like; The crew goes out to eat...the FO isn't invited. I am just wondering, has anyone seen the "screw the newbie" attitude reflected in the cockpit and on overnights? I'm sure people think it, but are they acting on it? If I do get the job that I am actively seeking am I going to be unanimously hated by everyone because I have three digits worth of flight time at hire instead of four or five?
If you think you can make it though training without a problem go for it because if you wash out that is going to hurt you for ever. Not to sound like a jerk but do your self a favor and don't tell anyone your time.
