I've had both former mil AND civilian pilots practically give me the shirt off their back helping me further my aviation career. Any further efforts to disparage what is simply helping out a fellow pilot is pure douchbaggery.
Off base? Sorry, I've helped plenty of guys all the way from 0 to current legacy. As in, the shirt off my back to help guys. Where have you read I haven't? Please show me? Please post where that's a foreign concept to me. You don't have to join the military and be an F-teen pilot to do that, sorry. I'm just a lowly civilian. But weird I can do that too. Just didn't feel the need to brag about it. You know, conforming to Hacker's mantra, how do you know unless you've asked that person SPECIFICALLY? Somenthing about douchebaghery? You're making ASSumptions.

My planned drop dead date has been 1/1/2018 since SkyWest bought us. Turning in that resignation is going to be the best Christmas present I could give my wife and three kids.
Hope it works out for you.

Thanks. Seems as if it's falling on deaf ears.
