flyalot,
People who ask for “serious responses only” are usually looking for people who will reinforce their decision to come to this place. So it appears your mind is already made up. I’m truly sorry to hear that. After looking through your posts, you seem to have something to hide from a previous employer, which means somewhere in your interview you lied, or avoided telling the truth. So now I understand why you are aspiring to be at a bottom feeder. Also, it showed you want to be in Chicago. Good luck! Chicago is shrinking. As for the serious responses, every response to the ridiculous question of “should I come to F9” that tells you “NO!”, Is a serious response. Whether it comes with bitterness, humor, sarcasm or even downright anger. We are in a WAR, with management, and the only two things that may help with that are the NMB, and people not accepting to be shat on their whole career. We know how the NMB turned out, but only people with a little self respect and some backbone can take care of the other. I can’t tell you not to come here, but at this particular juncture, I think it’d be the WORST decision you will ever REGRET! I still can’t believe people are stupid enough to even interview here right now. Do you think that once we get a contract we won’t need people?
Do your research. There is NO CONTRACT ON THE HORIZON. There is an IMPASSE in the negotiations and we aren’t even close to what the greedy bastards that run this place want to give us! They are CANCELLING VACATIONS! And by coming here, you are helping management delay all of this. They are FIRING PROBATIONARY PILOTS, and when you get dragged onto the carpet, they WILL NOT ALLOW THE UNION TO REPRESENT YOU! Who in their right mind would jump at the chance to walk into that sh!t show.
Like I said earlier, by coming here, you are helping delay this. May not be a big deal to you cause you use the excuse “well I’m just trying to do the right thing for my family.” Well, so am I, And so is everyone that is already at this dumpster fire. And you and all new hires for the past year are standing in the way of that happening!!! So by all means, way your options. But think about all the people who have been at this airline for 10, 15, even 20+ years, then think to yourself, how you would feel if you knew that people were purposely and selfishly delaying and or preventing you from something that you sacrificed for and have been waiting 11 years for.
For the geniuses who are going to try to point the finger back at me, I am trying my darndest to get out of here. This place has been THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE, AND I AM STILL PAYING FOR IT!!! You are not gaining an advantage by getting an interview and getting hired here. You are HURTING AN ENTIRE PILOT GROUP! Nothing is lost by waiting a few months to put an app in with Frontier. I know you all are really excited to start flying bigger airplanes and be at an airline that “prints its own tickets”, but if you pursue a job here you are selling yourself short and telling everyone here that you don’t give a crap about our plight. My “serious” advice to anyone looking for a major is to apply everywhere, except Frontier, And take the best offer that presents itself. I couldn’t be more “serious” if my life depended on it. Don’t give up on yourself, and JUST DON’T EVEN APPLY UNTIL WE HAVE A CONTRACT. You’ll thank me later. Many people have.
WINTER IS COMING!
110% READY TO STRIKE!!!
