We like PNCL because most of the pilots you'd fly with here do not have that attitude. Most of our pilots, even the senior ones have even learned how to live with all pilots to include what they didn't like as the industry shifted to a new direction in terms of hiring.
Me too as a new FO already hold a line, my reserve time was a month and for the last few months been holding 90+ lines (out of choice mind you!) with more than 11 days off on each month. Been avging on all months as a line holder credit time for 100+ hours. Don't think you can argue with that?....
Just like highney said, each to their own agenda. When you come to 9E just like any other airline you know what's on the stake, what are the advantages and the disadvantages. If you study hard, and keep it sharp you will mostly have fun times with everybody to include check airmen.
With a good bunch of people around ya, people can go through very rough times. ".... I get by with a lil help from my friends..." ?
Also not sure if this is the place, and how it is in other outfits - but it seems like whenever there's an occasion that necessitates help for causes that are non airline related - everybody puts in around here. Cancer, MP, a hardship within the family - you name it, people here have contributed to it out of their own pockets and time.
