Re-read the first part of the post, which states that the opinions offered may or may not be my own. I'm really just trying to help. I don't consider myself a high time Airline pilot, and I'm not a Captain. But I'm trying to help you think about things you may or may not know much about, and from a different perspective. If you don't appreciate it, that's OK; I tried. dont mind it, My opinions still stand. I apologize for the generalization, i will re-phrase. SOME airline pilots are bitter, and SOME older capitains are bitter.


The remarks about young pilots not being qualified is also a generalization, I personally agree and your remark about not leagally being able to fill a seat is a bit confusing to me, I doubt the airlines are illeagaly hiring FOs...They all have the appropriate raitings to be there. Re read that part as well. What I was saying was that, in some cases, the airline probably didn't hire low-time people because they were impressed with their skills. They hired them because they LEGALLY COULD fill the seat.

If they wanna better the industry they need to stop acting like this and start helping these "young" pilots become better. Fair enough, but there's a lot more to it than that.


As far as leaving the industry, if you arent happy where you are then leave, if its not practical and you cant then suck it up and wait til you can. But acting like a child isnt helping you.

Dont wanna hear me complain? Thats fair.. over look my posts then.

Worrying about their situtaion? Again sorry if your career didnt turn out the way you wanted to im sorry but not my fault, maybe im different but if i was homeless and saw a happy well off middle class family pretty sure i wouldnt be bitter at them just happy for em principle still stands.

And as far as your dreams. You wouldnt be here if your dream wasnt to fly, i dont care if you are making 25k a year or 100k a year you are flying a plane for money, that is my dream and at some point was yours, once again if your career isnt what you want...leave or suck it up and leave when you can

And again with the dues crap, listen i didnt fly a caravan for 10 years, i didnt apply to every airline for 10 years and live off of scraps of food. but i went through the same damn training as you and i just got lucky, now why the hell would that make you bitter? Again, I don't think I'm bitter. We don't even know each other. The statements from my previous reply were made in a general sense. Most of them don't reflect my personal opinion, but I'm sure they reflect the opinions of some people you will (and have already, it seems) encounter in this industry. There is no need to direct anything personal towards me regarding my career or what I think of it. If you were saying "you" meaning pilots in general, rather than me personally, then disregard the last statement.

And i dont think a capitain should just respect me but i do expect a professional pilot to be mature enough not to DISRESPECT me we are on the same team. Join the team first. Pass initial, your checkride, and OE. If you have a good attitude and can handle your duties competently, you will be respected. If not, then yeah the guy you're sitting next to has issues that have nothing to do with you.

My logic is spot on, it is simply silly to be bitter at up and coming pilots simply because they were hired earlier in their career or life than you.

Have a good day.
