You ask for reasons why.
-Reasons are politely given.
You childishly flip the conversation to whether the merits of your limited personal experience in international flying qualify you to make your original statement.
It’s not a p*ssing contest, there are people who have come here with cargo, charter, foreign and military experience. I’ve flown with guys with some really interesting backgrounds who have experience flying all over the planet. Almost every single one of them agrees they enjoy the ease of operations flying primarily domestically at NK. We knew what we were getting into coming here, what the company is.
The attitude isn’t about who is better than who, it’s about your asinine assertion that we don’t mean what we say because you have some fantasy idea about long haul ops.
All I’ve been trying to say is I bet if Spirit got widebody planes (I don’t think we actually would anytime soon) it would go senior because of the pay...I would be willing to bet money on it.
You are the one that came thumping your chest saying how all the flying we do here is a “cake walk” because you did a double butter fly approach that wasn’t in the FMS. Man turning that heading knob left and right a couple of extra times while doing an instrument procedure is intense bro!
And what was the other thing? Oh yeah, you landed at an airport where instead of landing at height above sea level you had to touchdown at 0. Man that’s a huge number, and it was metric so instead of 0 feet, it was 0 meters. Dang! That’s a game changer!!!
