Needless to say academy guys and low timers get no respect or pitty out of me... go CFI and fly 135 (or 134 and a half as the case may be) for a while and at least try to earn your job! Other than that quit whining you industry down dragging scum bags!
Your telling me that you would have turned down the opportunity to sit right seat at a regional with 560/50? How can you say that some kid is dragging the industry down by simply accepting a job? I'll buy into the PFT guys not doing the industry any favors, but please, these guys were neither PFT or academy grads. I can also assure you that these guys all had their CFI tickets and had instructed to get about half that time (250/25).
