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.
ENTITLEMENT ENTITLEMENT ENTITLEMENT!!!!!
This is why we have such a high failure rate at Pinnacle. It has NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING to do with examiners turning the heat up in the simulators. Anyone should be able to fly through moderate turbulence, high radio chatter, in mountainous terrain, multiple failures caused by the result of ONE failure "a rotor burst", which leads into cabin smoke, engine fire, un-commanded thrust reverser, electrical problems, hydraulic failures, fuel leak, aileron jam, stab trim runaway, APU auto-shutdown, while the flight attendant distracts you by calling continuously, meanwhile your doing the single engine departure procedure from Helena!!! One failure can cause all of that. It's bull-crap if you can't maintain ATP standards with this scenario.
YOU'D FAIL ON ONE REASON ALONE ------ ATTITUDE!
