The airline must have saw some skill in that kid or he wouldnt have been there. Or maybe they just saw somebody who could legally fill the seat. If you dont like the industry then leave... Not always practical, especially in today's economy. Also, some might be staying to do their part to try and make the industry better. If you had to have more hours to be hired than the current market that sucks sorry but i dont wanna hear you complain. And who wants to hear you complain? I am only 20 years old, ive jumped hurdles and moved mountains to finish my flight training and ill be dammed if i let some bitter old capitain sit here and disrespect me Pot, meet kettle and other young pilots by saying we havent payed our dues...Hell just finishing training is almost impossible nowadays, flight schools trying to rip you off, greedy examiners, bad weather, terrible economy, high fuel prices, bad hiring market, and to beat it all the more experiance pilots like some of you are so bitter you wont even look in the direction of a student pilot or a new pilot let alone help them or give them advice. You should be happy that we dont have to live off food stamps while waiting for a job.... They're probably too busy worrying about their own situation to be happy about yours Im really sorry if you did, but now you are living your dream you should be stoked. More like, we are living YOUR dream. Our dreams have may have evolved a bit, hence not being so "stoked". Sounds to me like you are a bit immature to say stuff like that. Pot, I believe you've already met kettle. Im sitting in a marketing office at an insurance company going insane behind a desk to pay my bills waiting for my chance to fly for an airline or cargo company, i have no clue what "dues" you are talking about This may be part of the reason the old bitter captains don't respect you as much as you think they should. but that is not in the job requirements sir you need to grow up. Pot and kettle are best friends...


As far as the minimums id say they are gonna be high to start off with just like everyone else. But as ive already learned newer pilots just need to hang in there our time will come.
