For those of you that don’t like what’s going, find another job, shut up, or better yet, contribute by portraying a better image for those who actually want to pursue a career in aviation.
I'm with you. Yes, there are things at my company I hope to be able to improve in the future, but if I can't, this job still beats real work!
Too many folks here haven't really had to work at a truly chitty job. They just don't know what it is like to be in the real world. Look at the comments:
"Crew scheduling is just a bunch of dumb a$$e$. They are just out to screw me" Yeah, I get screwed sometimes, but with a little sweet talking and treating them like humans, I can get a favor in return.
"I spent all this money getting my tickets, and they pay me food stamp wages." Uhhh, who said you need to end your training in debt? It takes a little longer and is a whole lot more work, but one can start working as a pilot with no debt.
"This job is just a stepping stone." Maybe so, but if the bottom falls out of aviation, is that stone the one you want to be on? Nothing wrong with having ambition, but one shouldn't roll around in chit "knowing" a shower is just ahead.
The list goes on and on, but my personnal favorite is:
"I spend too much time away from home!" Duuhhh! You're in the long haul transportation business, what did you expect????
