My response to that attitude is, you go try it yourself and see how easy it is. 1) They signed up for it. 2) They qualified to fly 3) passed, and 4) had a successful time thereafter. If you didn't, then don't complain about the people who did. If it's such an easy route, why not do it yourself instead of complaining about it?

"I had # of failures in my class, and they were all military!" Do you think maybe there's a reason they're training at a regional airline? Why don't you include all the guys across the industry, not just your anecdotal experience from a regional. Do all the military guys at Fedex, UPS Southwest, American, Delta, and United fail their training too?

"You have an attitude problem" Why, because I'm pointing out the loser mindset that complains about how "they think we should be happy to work for 1/3 the pay" and that "it's luck of the draw!"

I commonly see a person complaining about their low pay, or that they can't get hired by a major due to bad luck, and then in another thread they brag about how they "Get paid to not fly LOL" or "I only work 10 days per month at my regional LOL #pilotLife" . It's hypocritical, and that person thinks they deserve to do the same thing at at a major airline pay scale. Good luck with that attitude!
