I find it ironic that he thinks he has it all figured out dropping his turds (can I use turd on APC?) of wisdom, but can't figure out why guys junior to him are getting hired by the majors.
For the most part the guys I fly with have been here for 20 years or more. They do their job and don't spew a bunch of anti-establishment rhetoric. They are what a Captain should be.
Sorry about using the "d-word". How about tool?
Sorry FanBoy,
I will move right along just as soon as I am sure it is the right time and to the right place. Since my situation is pretty decent, it will have to be a top tier move, Spirit ain't gonna cut it for me. The majors have been hiring more than a few for what, a year? Like I said this is 4 D chess not checkers. SKYW F/Os are leaving daily for any number of quick/CQFO slots, when the rats flee the ship, you gotta ask, why? When I listen to the F/Os it becomes clear, they don't have any plans, it's jump at the first, different thing that comes along, and to operate in thes shark infested waters, rudderless is foolhardy. If my musings cause one guy to think about what he is gonna do with some planning, it's worth it. I don't really have a dog in this pit, it's the guys like WRX who need the next layer of airline fodder to allow them to upgrade. I have mine, have had it for awhile, and could afford to take an early retirement and live quite comfortably. Do the math....70 resignations, 70 upgrades, how many new hires????
