In a lot of ways you remind me of myself. I thought I knew it all too when I retired from the USAF and came to the airlines in 2001. I quickly learned I was wrong about a lot. My advice to you would be to listen to the guys that have been around for awhile. Especially as it regards scope. Or not. Carry on.
That was my point, but it does not appear to be the APC way! If it were, the DAL L&G thread would have 180 posts, not 180k!
And thanks for the advice, but your wrong assumptions are:
- that I think I know it all (I know I don't, but many here act like they do know it all--if you aren't continually learning in the flying game then you should retire now!)
- I do listen to old timers, as well as new guys--everyone has a different perspective and provides a unique viewpoint on these topics, NOT just those who have been doing it awhile.
- that I am not concerned about our scope.
My advice to you is that new guys (or any pilot, for that matter) should not be disregarded. Especially as it concerns anything related to flying or this industry. Or not. Carry on.
