That quote comes from nearly every Pinnacle pilot on this forum. How about quit acting like a 17 year old on a roid high every time someone questions you and check the facts you use to support your arguments.
Airsupport will never get it. I even predicted his typical response before it even happened: Totalling ignoring the points I made and making it seem like I was ripping on
every Pinnacle pilot, when in reality I was not. I quoted what I said earlier and you can see I wasn't ripping on all Pinnacle pilots, just those that think they are God's gift to aviation. Airsupport's typical response always involves twisting my words around to
distract from the point I made about he feels he is self entitled over mainline pilots.
Notice how I said
some, not all of the pilots at Pinnacle. He totally side stepped the fact that there are UND grads that have been hired at Pinnacle this past year with 200 hours total and 25 hours multi. Remember I went to UND and loved it, so it is not a bash on UND at all, just me pointing out a sad truth.
Airsupport lives in this fantasy world, where he thinks that when he and his fellow cronies, who act entitled like he does, all bash me, he thinks that I am in the wrong. I just wish the good pilots over at Pinnacle would just get on here and tell Airsupport how bad it really is to fly the -900 at those rates. As I said earlier, I have no gripe with any -900 pilot who agrees those rates are hogwash. I do find it funny that when other pilots have brought up Airline Pilot Central to me, Airsupport is mentioned as a guy they can't stand. I usually just laugh, without telling them how much I actually get into it on here with him... "Oh yeah, yeah I've read his posts before, that guy is out there."

Note:
Now, before all of you guys get on me again, I want to make it perfectly clear that this is only directed at the guys who don't think it is a problem with themsleves flying the -900 for those rates. You can be flying it and be perfectly cool in my book, if you agree its bogus pay and that ANY Delta and Northwest pilot can dislike you as much as they want.
...A lot of UND grads went there with barely over 200 hours total and 25 hours multi. I'm from UND and loved it there, so that comment isn't a bash towards UND. Just trying to shed some light on some of the pilots that have been hired over at Pinnacle recently. Doesn't this just make you just all warm and fuzzy that this Pinnacle pilot just got on a DELTA MAINLINE PILOT'S CASE?
Oh, Airsupport, I can't wait for you to dig yourself out of this one.
