Your whole class quit.... It wouldn’t hv anything to do with a pilot shortage and SWA,FedEx,Delta,American,Atlas,Spirit,United,UPS,A llegiant, and Regionals hiring and offering up to 58,000 dollars of bonuses.....WOULD IT????
I get it your frustrated about something that you didnt like. But go to the Delta forum or any greener pasture airline, and there are pilot *****ing over there about company contract abuse.
As any good pilot would do and if there really is unsafe working conditions say NO!
I’m sorry if GAMA made you fly IFR, clean a toilet every now and then, didn’t give you a 3 day vacation in Keywest, and made you file your own flight plan. But welcome to the 135 world..... It’s obvious yoru a true blue 121 loyalist. Where They have a person to do everything for you besides sit there and manage the FMS.
I’ll give you some free advice. I wouldn’t try to get on at Netjets,Flexjets,XOjet, and any 135 carrier. They all besides Netjet ( Which has dispatchers for flight planning) will operate the same way. All of them have paying customers that some time want to fly out of a city that’s IFR conditions and want a clean plane.
I'll dumb this down so you can understand it.
A prospective pilot for WU asked on a public forum for opinions from those who have worked (or are working) there.
Since I worked there, I offered my opinion. Some of you did - others didn't.
If you'll notice, I didn't attack anyone's opinion. Nor do I think I'm so clairvoyant that I know what other opinion-givers should have seen (or not seen) while working there.
Nor did I attack anyone's qualifications.
Nor did I make assumptions about the other posters.
Honestly, I didn't give others' opinions a second thought.
Why? Because . . . (wait for it) . . . I DON'T CARE if you share my opinion - or if our opinions are diametrically-opposed.
I just tried to do the person a favor - the same favor we've all asked before starting with a new company. You collect several opinions, weigh them based on their relevancy, and try to make an informed decision.
Now, if I were this person who originally asked the question . . . and I read some of your responses to my initial post where I stated my opinion . . . I would have serious misgivings about the pilots who fly there. Clearly, they don't tolerate differing opinions.
Safety violations or no safety violation, if I were forced to fly with a bunch of know-it-alls, I think I'd find another place to fly.
But hey - if it makes you feel better to continue to attack me, then please continue.
And if you think I care about your opinion, please reread this post
