I want to fly the 777 at a major, but I can't walk in there day one and demand I fly the 777, then cry about it when I don't get it. The airline industry is not a career filled with certainty and/or stability. Especially for the junior pilots. Was this not understood before choosing this career and airline?
You don't understand the gripe because there isn't one. If you read the posts that came before mine, it is pretty clear that I was adding my experience to the thread. I was simply stating that I was asked if I would take a CRJ spot and was given the option. I said no because I was hoping for a specific ERJ base. The comment was in relation to an earlier post about people getting the bait and switch once they were hired. There's no crying, I was just giving an update based on my experience (yours may vary.....) Lighten up, Francis
