Why do you waste your time on these boards just spreading doom and gloom? If you don't want to be an airline pilot, why are you on APC all the time?
I am here because this forum is a hobby of mine. I have the same passions about aviation as anyone else here it is just that I offer a different perspective.
Writing on these pages is about sharing ideas and experiences with an association of my peers. This is really all I have left of nearly 20 years of effort as a professional pilot.
It is natural that I am the boggy man here since I do not join in with the crowd. Some say that I am negative. I say that I merely offer a different view than most others.
You are the one who mentioned the 40,000 applicants at SWA. If SWA is going to hire 400 this year that mean that if you meet their minimums and if you have the three SWA captains who are willing to stand up for you that the odds of getting hired are 100 to one.
Some might call that fact as negative. I call it reality.
