You didn't get the memo? Simply become a Senior Check Airman on the 777 and life at Suddern suddenly doesn't suck so much.
Didn't you get the memo whereby all pilots have a
Constitutional Right to complain about anything? This includes, but is not limited to late hotel vans, lousy layover hotels, lousy (or lack of) crew meals, undue delay at getting trip trade, trip drop, or open flying bid approved, schedule reassignment, how latest CBA (~70-85% yes votes) sucks, etc, etc, etc.
The latest round of shoot the messenger posts by seasoned ACMI pilots reminds me of an old traveling salesman stuck in the middle of nowhere story. Urban traveling salesman's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Farmer offers to let him stay the night in his house. Of course, house has no air conditioning, and is immediately downwind of animal barn. Salesman says "geez, this place smells like s#^t !" Farmer : "Huh, I don't know what you're talking about."
