I think it shows that because Compass pilots are reasonably happy they choose to discuss other things. Maslow's hierarchy of needs does a good job explaining human behavior. Not every regional is like Eagle where people are concerned about simply having a job, let along frivolities like idiots on Instagram.

I'm glad Mason32 showed up, although I don't think any pilot is rating his future regional employment based off flight benefits so I doubt your fishing will do any good.

Good luck.
Most of the AA flights I've operated haven't been full. Especially first class. So until that changes (which presumably it will), it would have been nice to be able to take my spouse on the 24 hour Saturday overnight in AUS I had last month

God I'm getting old...I had to look up what Instagram is and I still can't figure out the app.

So is Facebook not a thing anymore?


Get off my lawn.

I have a question, maybe you guys have answers. My September line award has me operating a five day trip. What was loaded in FLICA is a modified pairing of the original five day trip at a loss of seven hours of credit. What my question is, am I paid based on my award or what is showing in FLICA?

Since someone brought it up. Here is my 2 cents.

e175laxFO,(I know you are on here) listen up!
It is very annoying and unprofessional how much you post. Its nice to show stuff like that to kids on IG. But for god sake, you should not be acting like a know-it-all role model on the internet. Stop spending so much time on IG. It makes yourself look like a child in the airport taking selfies and photos of everything. It also reflects bad on everyone. Havent people learned what social media can do to people these days? Yes its legal, but is it smart? Professional? Genuinely worth your time when you are on duty? No. No its not.

End of rant
Although the "know-it-all" attitude of his posts are a little annoying, I don't think he tries to come off that way. He's just super excited about flying, I don't think thats anything to bash. I guarantee that after the "honeymoon phase" fades away, he'll tone it down quite a bit. I remember when I was first learning to fly, I followed people like him on social media sites, and it did offer me some inspiration. If his posts really bother all of you so much, don't follow him. It's pretty simple.

I think his posts are pretty tasteful and informative to kids out there interested in our jobs, but yes he could probably tone it down a bit. For real pilot d bag entertainment, check out IFLY_FAST. The dude is so full of himself its beyond ridiculous. One go pro selfie after another

I don't care that if people post about the job. Just put the camera down on a walk around. Please. No walk around selfies. Don't post videos that violate sterile. It makes us all look bad.

I fly fast is like the king IG pilot toolbag.

Check out jampow737. Look down a bit and you'll see a video, very low level, from the front right seat of a CRJ into Sitka. Seriously??

Pretty fitting for a PSA pilot.

Judging from his Instagram account, I don't believe he does.

Fly fast, I mean.
