Being a Cheif Pilot does not equal being successful... I just don't know how you can come on here and ask how to be someone who makes most of our lives/jobs worse and then get angry when you get the backlash.

This is like knocking on the door of someone who just got screwed by the IRS and asking if him to tell you how to become an auditor.

If you want advice without emotion let me say this: Get hired, go to work in the training center or some other part of the management building and then upgrade. Become personal friends with the important people (Director of Flight Ops, Cheif Pilots, ect.) and then look to make a bubba deal.
