Some individuals realize, by reading books, they may, already, have the inherent qualities of what it “
takes to be a captain”
We don’t work in a merit-based industry. Becoming a captain is a matter of seniority. That’s it. You didn’t ‘earn’ anything. You just worked at the company longer than the other guy.
Captain upgrade opportunities, with most air carriers is based on seniority. Some still take into consideration are merit based.
Again, the operative word is “Opportunity”. By vertue of being offered the opportunity does not guarantee the upgrade. Who knows? Could be due to many factors, ranging from deficiencies during upgrade training, failure to pass the type rating LST/Practical Test. Poor performance including ADM, personality issues can rear their ugly heads during line training too.
I’ll save you a book. Be a friggin’ normal person, show up, and do your job.
Very kind🙄 of you to provide reading literature, you feel a waste of time. There’s more to the position than just showing up and, to quote you, “
Show up, and do your job”. The tone of your comments, and vocabulary usage, lends one to believe your use of Teamwork Leadership, Communication, CRM may need a wee bit of work.
