I’m going to disagree here. It’s the jaded senior pilots with the bad attitude. You are just trying to spin it saying he has the wrong attitude because he doesn’t have that bad attitude.

You and many others want new pilots to have a worse attitude which you consider the “right” attitude. The prospects for a new hire today if you look at it from a realistic perspective are fantastic with this company. Notice I said realistic and not optimistic. I’ve been called a sunshine pumper, a recruiter, a liar and several more things on here when I said the upgrade times would drop and that the place was an opportunity. Here we are a few months later and we get an email saying the company hopes it doesn’t have to hire DECs next year.

There are still plenty of guys who will only spew negativity. The next recession is right around the corner or the company is now lying about the 1000 hour upgrades coming. All of that is wishing ill will towards your new co-workers. So who has the bad attitude?
