Look, I'm just a regional pogue, and a relatively junior FO at that, but I'm a PNW native and I grew up watching Alaska Airlines aircraft coming and going from SEA, talking to some of you guys at Crest and Thun back when I was hoping that someday I'd get a PPL, and hoping some day that might even be me flying for AS.

And yeah, even after reading this cr@p I probably wouldn't turn down an offer there if one ever came my way.

But frankly guys, this thread is starting to embarrass the h€|| out of me. You sound an awful lot like junior high kids. Like you were 'doing dozens' on the playground, except you are the wrong ethnic group and can't get into the lingo properly so you come across as adolescent braggart pseudo-tough guys who are just pathetic.

Could you please just stop? Because I've got kids you see, and they are intelligent and polite and - perhaps unfortunately - they have Internet access too. And they know their daddy is an airline pilot, even if only a very very junior one. And I'd hate like H€|| for them to somehow discover this thread and read it and think that this is what airline pilots are really like.

And before you jump on me for even being here and having an opinion, please note that this is the "hiring" thread. Presumably you guys doing all the back and forth already have jobs here.
