Got comfy with their seniority. Nearing the age of retirement. Doesn’t wanna start over. Zero networking, zero events conventions attended. The older pilot isn’t gonna follow a regional chief pilot on social media and get buddy buddy with him meet for lunch and have him as a
mentor!( GEMS )
Just to name some reasons.
It’s called a job HUNT for a reason. The food doesn’t come to you you gotta get creative.
Since I was infracted for not using nice language and offending someone I will repost.
Our industry requires us to suck up to as many people as possible from many different companies regardless of being over qualified for the position.
Most industries want qualified people to fill the needed slots. They like you, you like them and it’s all done. Both parties happy.
Not the airlines. You have to go around proving you are willing to outspend, out travel, out pace and suck up more than your peers for a job that we are already doing. It’s not liking flying a mainline jet is in anyway shape or form different than flying a regional.
Anyway sorry for the offensive language of the first post. 🙄
