I was taught by the old farts who walked the line that seniority was what mattered. JS is by seniority. Senior person got it. In the back seniority matter, the senior EMPLOYEE not pilot got on.
I’ll bow out as it seems today’s commuters are all about ME. God help the next generation.
I’m just glad I moved to driving distance. I’ll let my friends who aren’t pilots know, just drop the vacation pass and see if they senior CA is willing to do the same to get the 2015 hire in the JS.
Fair enough as well. I don’t see this at all as all about ME. I’d say that about the senior guy who disregards his fellow pilots 4-8 times a month. I am planning on moving to base as well. I’ve seen this...pilots helping pilots...constantly from most guys senior to me. They do what it takes to help help get pilots to work. You cannot implicate the younger generation because far and away almost all of yours does it too. I stated that it was an unusual exception to see otherwise...but it happens on occasion.
