Welcome aboard, report back after your first Skrew Skeduling chit show. Lazy, incompetent, and the entitled, you just described an airline pilot. In 6 months you will be whining about the lack of upgrade. Minority, wait till you get to the line, if you do, ask a senior guy which direction things are going, then look in the mirror, you will se the true cause of your ailments. Make no mistake, you are a numerically identified widget, the only sympathy you will ever get from the "company" is for bereavement, they couldn't care less about your kids 1st birthday or your moms cancer(unless you are in Calif, then Kin Care will cover you by law). Wake up, you didn't win the lottery, you are being given the opportunity to be exploited, they need minions to push their smelly broken a$$, RJs around the continent. Ask any reserve with more than 6 months how's it going....dare you. Congrats on the ERJ choice, that seemingly innocent SJS moment on your part, guarantees you of a minimum of 2 years of reserve he11. Go ahead, click over to the standing bid list and watch your seniority on that list slowly march backwards. Bitter, nope after more than a decade with the company, it's an easy observation, you come here and profess to know how it is, but you have no idea, and by the time you figure what's up, you will have a little seniority and a knocked up SKYW F/A girlfriend, so say good bye to that fast trip to the majors! The above is an observed script, it just keeps happening over and over. Enjoy TDY!
