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 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.

I know many captains and show as much respect to them as i can. I stated it very clearly earlier, i dont want your respect off the bat that is something not only do i HAVE to earn, i want to earn it and not just get it. BUT with that being said i absolutely will NOT be disrespected by people who dont even know me or how i fly, and SOME captains have that attitude and say very rude things on these forums about new pilots and that is not ok with me. That has nothign to do with me being humble or not.
Now for the next post, I am not arguing that captains have not payed their dues, nor am i arguing that "dues" arent important. What my argument is is that some captains automatically dislike or flat out hate younger pilots because they generalize us into a pool of pilots that cannot fly.
I have not claimed to pay my dues, all i have said is that these captains who constantly insult younger pilots should be ashamed.
If you disagree thats cool i dont mind, all ive said is what i feel.
I am as humble as i can be even to these captains that i disagree with please dont get that wrong.
Maybe you have a short memory? I think most people would construe the first quote to be you saying you HAVE paid your dues.... Maybe it's just me. It seems to me you recharacterize alot of what you "meant" in previous posts. There's several guys saying you're not humble enough and you think everyone is wrong? You claim that guys can't judge you without knowing you or how you fly, attitude has a lot to do with it, it's pretty clear how you feel. Everyone holding a commercial pilots license should know how to fly, you don't get extra points for that, attitude is everything.
