Jeez, you guys are brutal. The worst guys to fly with are the ones who don’t love flying and never have. You’re going to come all this way to become a pilot on a whim? No one does that.

Dry cleaning your uniform? Lol

Answering calls from the company? You literally don’t have to do that. Call the asap guy back the next time you’re sitting at work waiting. You could have a work phone that you leave in the crew room and only pick up and drop off at the beginning and end of trips. There’s nothing stopping you and you’d never get in trouble. I never answer the phone without it going to voicemail, and I only call back if/when I feel like it.

Try dealing with the “decline in civility” when your boss (who you see every day all day) is a tool. Bad guy/girl to fly with? DNP, adios!

Deicing? You’re getting paid. ATC delays before departure? Paid. Diversion? Paid. Line to depart? Getting paid. Insufficient time to use the restroom or get food? Grow up and make the time to do it. I’m not going anywhere when I have to cut a leak or eat and neither should anyone with a spine. Monotony? Honestly tell me another job with as much variation as ours (hint- go read about all the things you just complained about, they’re all unscheduled and variable!). We literally travel the world seeing different places vs every other job where you go into the same dreary building day in and day out.

Honestly I get there are valid complaints but some of this is incredible
