I’m not taking it personally, but I just have to vent again: why is there is so much animosity toward an airline pilot with 25 years (or whatever) in at an airline - just because they don’t fly heavy equipment? Our airplane is about the size of a G5 - would everybody throw shade on a 25-year G5 captain because he/she didn’t “move on?” You shouldn’t say that being a 777 captain is the only legit civilian flying job out there, and anything else represents laziness or ineptness. Building a long career anywhere should be respected and rewarded, and might have even been done by choice due to whatever that person’s family situation is. Attitudes like yours help undermine our industry because it says that any job less than heavies over the ocean is a stepping stone and nobody should be there - repeating the industry lie since 1978.
