btw, the scenario you gave had nothing to do with what Cyio was talking about. It's a basic part of every pilot's job, but thanks for manspaining that to us any way Captain America.
Well, yes it is. But you obviously aren't grasping it so- in your words- let me "mansplain" it to you.
Your piloting capabilities are something that is usually easy to define. A view of hours, type of flying, type ratings, failures, violations, etc.
Less easy to define is the human nature part of someone, how they interact with people.
Cyio, in his post, referenced flying ability and the fact that flying a regional is no different than flying a mainline. Having flown both regional turboprops, RJ's and heavy transports I would say that's not quite the case, but I get what he is saying. What he fails to see is that the other things, "sucking up" "traveling and paying money" (I assume to attend conferences) is where you can demonstrate an ability or a lack of ability to interact in a social environment with other people. Something that is tougher for people hiring to judge.
This is also a lesson you have failed to grasp. The thing is, you never know who you will interact with in this business. In your case, you obviously have a bunch of pent up hostility. I don't think I've read a post by you where you don't display this. Even a forum such as this where you are "anonymous" your demeaner can have an impact on your future. I've seen pilots blow interviews who didn't even know they were being interviewed.
So lighten up Francis. And remember, it's Captain America
SIR when you address me.
