Yes, I can leave OR fight to make it better. Without a flow, there really isn’t a reason to come here. The three wholly owned all need pilots and in the very least you’ll get something for the work you do.
Please make sure you know what you’re trying to accomplish by joining a regional. They are the same with poor work rules, mostly, but you’ll get to a major at the end of the abusing years. Direct Entry Captains now at Envoy.
In two years I've:
Never been extended
Never been delayed into a day off
Never been Junior manned
Never been called by a CP/ACP
Never had a 117 issue
I have averaged 17.5 days off so far this year
I have credited over 100 hours every month this year
I have got every day I've ever bid for off
I have found open time every month
And most importantly, I have enjoyed my time here.
That might not be your experience.
But as disingenuous as it would be to say that new hires will fare as good as me, it's just as misleading to say they will fare as poorly as you.
I take the good with the bad. And what you aren't seeing in my post are the 200 things I don't like about this job/company. If you focus on the bad things I get the feeling this industry will chew you up and spit you out. For perspective, check out the RAH thread from the guy thinking of quitting the industry. Some people aren't built to see the side of the lawn where the grass is green.
My job sucks at times but it affords me the life I want and the means to provide for my family.... All without having to ever use a stapler!!
Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
Might help you out......
