Many on here think they are owed some amount of "respect" because of their chosen profession. However, when one reads a thread like this one sees a bunch of people griping over the feds cracking down on them taking videos of themselves flying. And you wonder why you're looked down upon by those of us at the majors.
This is a career and not some after-school job. When many of you refer to your peers as a "tool" because they follow the rules, that doesn't say much about your level of professionalism. In fact, it further reinforces the stereotype that many of you at the commuters/regionals are nothing more than a bunch of young punks with shiny-jet syndrome.
Why do you need to film yourselves in the first place? Do you honestly think that people are impressed because you fly an RJ?
Yea I would say people are impressed. Many people would kill to have the job of flying around the country. Obviously the pay isn't good, why else do you think we are here?
Btw, there are videos on YouTube from guys in the majors. Don't point the finger at regionals when everyone does it.
