So lets see, minimum wage, not flying (i.e. not making any progress towards getting out of here), and sitting away from home with NO reason to be doing so. The word will get out eventually.
You got hammered because you said your class was threatening to quit for other regionals because you don't want to sit reserve. Yet you picked the senior jet that most people want and everyone knows reserve times are high. Then had the audacity to say your situation is different because you're prior military and you just want SEA and a line. Lol get real man.
Sorry bud, try again. If you wanted a line and to do the grind you'd be in Detroit right now on the CRJ flying 90hrs a month just like the rest of the guys on the grind. You just came into here with your entitlement saying you wanna go to Horizon. Good luck with your upgrade times. Let me just warn you to DO YOUR RESEARCH.
Otherwise you will get hammered....again.
And minimum wage? Jesus man. Seriously?
