There's no need to get all mad at the mere mention of making a career out of being a CP or management pilot. All I said is that it's a viable career. And yes I do know what I'm talking about, I've worked closely with management pilots in a previous job at a regional and I got to know them personally. I don't know about PCL, but the guys I worked with were way more concerned about the well-being of their employees and fellow pilots than lining their own pockets or brown nosing to the higher-ups.

Sure there are bad apples out there. The most effective way to change that would be to either get involved in the management side or get active within the union yourself. Spineless is someone who complains about things online and does nothing to change them. That's not aimed at you I'm just pointing it out.

And don't make me out to be a scab or lecture me about an attitude change. I never said anything about screwing someone else over. I could have gone to blowjets a long time ago but I'm not gonna wh0re myself out like that, and I'm sure as hell not going to stab fellow pilots in the back. You want to call someone spineless?? Talk to gojet pilots.

I'm not calling any pilots bottom feeders, I'm calling certain airlines bottom feeders. All it takes is one look at the hiring minimums for the various airlines to determine which ones are bottom feeders. Look at Mesa right now, it's a simple fact.

And by the way, I have more experience in this industry than my current status in a hiring pool would indicate. He who assumes...

I have some good friends at Pinnacle and I certainly wish you all the best of luck with your contract negotiations.
