You all make me sick of your bittering and self fulfillment ideas of being an airline pilot.
You know what you got yourself into applying as a regional airline pilot candidate, just like you knew your what you were getting into as a Flight instructor
Your goal is too move up, not move down and being a regional airline pilot is just a stepping stone. I know a lot of older regional pilots that have taken a position to remain regional captains for life. For many of them, that wasn't a choice. Is that your goal? No, work with them cause they will get you through check rides and give you the ins and outs to become better than them! Appreciate them and understand where they are coming from cause you ungrateful little immature 20 year olds think you deserve the best! Pay your dues! What there experience has nothing to do with your future.
If your brave enough, go part 135! You will be eating your lunch! Go part 91 and you will be begging for a refund for your training!
Im an embalmer and airline pilot, hope to see you at my funeral home!
