Im a young pilot who will hopefully be applying to a regional soon, and im hoping i can find better role models to learn from the the grumpy old men who frequent this forum. Set the booze down for 2 seconds and realize you have an opportunity to shape the future of the profession. Yeah some of us low timers are clowns who aren't worth the air they breathe but guess what.... SAME GOES FOR THE REST OF YOU!! So while this new agreement might not be perfect, and it might have ruffled a lot of feathers; remember that you experienced pilots are who us young guys are looking up to. And for the ignorant A**holes who are gonna tear this post up just because im a newb..... **** OFF!!! Your the only person who respects your ideas and ideals. The rest of us are moving on without you.
Just one more example of this youthful generation wanting everything right now... Don't want to put in the time and effort and always looking for a shortcut or the easiest way out. You can teach a retarded monkey to push buttons in a 121 environment. I don't doubt that. But that doesn't make them a good pilot or an asset to your crew. It makes you a warm body to occupy a seat. You just wait till you take your fast track into a regional and you're hanging onto the tail of the plane for the first 1000 hours and then come back and say you still were fully prepared to operate a jet and it was perfectly safe the whole time. Although with your "screw you all" attitude I doubt you'll make it through OE.
