Do you really want to babysit the whiners and clean all the dirty diapers in your pilot group? And be the disciplinarian? Lame. Do you want to see your pay go to salary, and not even be competitive with the captains at the top of the seniority list? Not to mention becoming top managements whipping boy and the 'bad guy' to the pilots. I've seen all this happen to guys trying to pad their resume, and you know what? Regular line guys (including myself) got the better jobs much faster while they regretted their choice from behind their desk. Just my opinion, but I'm in this business to move metal. And I don't mean a #2 pencil through training folders and employee files.
