I've done the 8-5 thing as an engineer and obviously made WAY more than an SKW FO. I've flight instructed, flown charter, and flown corporate. I was a CA on a jet before coming to SKW. I've been here for almost 4 years, still an FO. You know what? It's not a bad job. I get a lot of time off, most of the folks I fly with are pleasant, and the CCBs are happily quite uncommon. He's a failure in his own mind, and derives pleasure from crapping all over everybody else. Put him on ignore as I have. He's a trivial failure, not worthy of your time. Most of us have or will have put people like this in the rear view mirror at some point in our lives.
If there's anything I can do for you (or anybody else) on here to answer any questions you have, please feel free to send me a PM. I'd be happy to help however I can. Good luck with your next step!
