I love how some of the RJ newbies like calling guys at the supplementals names and somehow coming to the conclusion that we are lowering the bar.

Although the international supplementals' might not be what life is like at the majors, it still beats being at the commuters. I'll take my 2 weeks off, more catering than I could possibly eat, flying one leg every 3 days, collecting my hotel and airline points, and my per diem check that is larger than their monthly pay check and continue to quitely keep my secret while they fly the 8+ legs a day with min rest.

 

Sounds a lil disgruntled, provide him with facts and he retorts with "still a bottom feeder." Educate urself young man before you come on here a bash a whole group of aviators that are out there everyday flying in some of the most hostile environments with antiquated equipment, no logistical support, and where command decisions are being made in the cockpit and not by a dispatcher sitting in sunny PHX. While ur flying around in ur shiny lil dildo jet with all the pretty lil TV screens and computers to keep ur blueside up and being told to keep ur hands off the controls by a Captain that just started shaving a year ago, we are out there discecting readbacks from controllers that sound like they are talking through coffee cans and strings and their command of the english language is about as well as the knowledge that you display about the industry that you have chosen to profess. So next time you sit down after one of those "LONG" trips to play ur "PLAYSTATION 2" with your lil brother when you should be out procreating the human race, just remember some supp pilot is down in Wanchai having a cold one and a hot one, and he will make sure ur new "Playstation 3" is there for you when you run down from your bedroom (of course in ur parents home) to see what "Santa"(oops I mean,Evergreen, Kalitta, Southern, Twinds, 360, Atlas, Polar, Gemini, Focus, World) has left you under the XMAS tree.

DMF!!!!!!!!!

 

Well said DC8... Your the man.

 

OMG !!!!

I AM HANGING THAT POST ON MY WALL !!!!!!


(I bow to you oh great one)

 

Thats some funny shyte.

And I agree, a guy flying an RJ calling a supplemental pilot a bottom feeder is funny.

 

And more to the point, is there any advice you guys at FA (or any other ACMI outfit) can give to someone like me who actually wants a job there? I have applied, of course, but anything to make the resume stand out from the crowd (and yes, I'll be resubmitting in a few days when I complete my Check Airman course in the Dash8) would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Damn and Im the one who's disgruntled and hostile... now that's the funny part... Well what ever dude two each his own... and Im sure that all those guys that bring me my playstation 3 enjoy doing it for way less pay than everybody else does as well..... DMF yourself there pal!!! As for me good thing is Im young and have plenty of time to get to a real paying job....

 

Perhaps first you should spend some time in an English class and learn how to spell and form grammatically correct sentences. Then we'll talk about that 'real paying job'.

 

I don't know how anyone could make 17 years in an rj without eating a bullet. Especially if the guy you sit next to says "dude" every fourth word.

 

LOOOOOOOOONG LIVE WANCHI!!!!!!!! I love that place!!!
