I have a funny feeling that the problem children were either single seat fighter guys or civilians who have grown up on a "seniority eats their young" mentality. For trash haulers, Spec Ops, and other multi-pilot aircraft, this phenomenon is common place. |

Sometimes the flight lead is the most Jr Guy in a flight. Not sure where Jackal gets his prejudices from.

Don't both Captains get paid the same?? So what's the problem here?? I can sit in the back, get the choicest crew meals, read, watch movies and sleep and get paid the exact same as the guy who will do the carpet dance if a taxiway light gets smashed? Perhaps I am a slacker, but when I upgrade anyone that wants the responsibility is welcome to come and take it...... just show me the money.
Kind of reminds me of a story I heard at my old Guard unit.... there was a senior Major there who never upgraded...... he flew around with a bunch of junior people, got paid more than they did and had no responsibility. That guy had it made!! Or so I have heard.........:D |

Or so I have heard.........:D As for your Major friend, back at your old Guard unit, the guy was not only an under-achiever, but also someone without the drive to be all that he could be. Obviously someone I'd prefer not to fly with on my wing. Besides your story is opposite of the reality here, because there, he had elected to remain a wingman only, while here, it's a senior guy, who could have bid that line of flying, but for some reason, decided to not, and then he gets his choice of good deals, while cutting the junior captain out of flying the trip that he was able to hold. Sucks. JJ |

The senior captain should be PIC. Period. It doesn't matter if he's on m/u, sub, reserve, etc... It doesn't matter if he's a bad captain. That is how seniority works. I don't care if you bid that line!

What if the F/O is senior to the Capt?:rolleyes:
