As for being blinded by shiny airplanes....i don’t think that’s what anybody cares about. It’s the security that comes with them. Not that anything is secure in this industry.
As to my personal situation, I definitely can’t complain. I actually enjoy coming to work believe it or not because I do it so infrequently. This job is actually enjoyable if you get 20+ days off a month lol. But my main purpose is to filter the rhetoric for any potential new hires out there. People need to be informed of the situation here. Not some flowery language about planes coming any day now. And it shows they are informed because we’ve only hired about 2 pilots in October. Some people paint this place as turning around. I would define a turn around after the net change in the number of pilots turns to a positive number. And I wouldn’t want to lie to people to further my own seniority either. That’s just not right.
