What’s up with all genZs and boomers?

Finally, us, the millennials are getting a break.

as an LCP, have you ever encountered a student who refuses to accept that they have performed poorly and blame their performance on all the factors supposedly outside of their control?

you sir, live up to your name
I mean, I’m sure the guy worked hard to get where he’s at but let’s be real. He got hired at the most hireable time in aviation history and spent like no time at a regional. The “grind” for him was nothing compared to what others had. Again, I’m sure he’s faced challenges but spending a year at a regional and a year at Atlas isn’t a challenge.

Now, if you fly with him and he happens to be a douche then ok, roast him as an individual


On the book, I willing to bet none of us have read it. We don't know if he takes credit for every aspect of his success. If he's humble enough to acknowledge forces outside our individual control or the influence of other people in our success. So, holding off on judging the book.
+1. This is for the next generation to be similarly inspired to find a passion and better themselves and furture generations. Only the anonymous cesspool of the internet would deride that.

But who cares about that? It used to be hard to get water in your house and put food on the table because you had to hunt/farm it yourself. Someone always had to worse/harder than you, but that's not really the point. You don't know all the other challenges they faced (societal, familial, etc...). This book may not be meant for all the boomers, gen-X or even millennials. Though, I bet some could stand to read something like this and learn a little bit more about the idea that not everyone faced the same struggles as them. Or maybe it is severely overblown and not worth a read. I bet someone out there relates and it may help them go down a path they didn't know was possible. I guess there are always those who love to cut people down, but let them go write their own book, nothing is stopping them.


I know I'd rather fly a trip with someone like this over the type that just wants to deride him for writing a book. I have no doubt I'd learn something from him.

If you look close, he didn’t write the book, nor claim to be the author.

All I know is he better tread carefully with his instagram tactics. Drops a book and a few days later some “random” insta burner account calls him the N word in his pm’s and he posted it for clout. Bro is giving me serious Jussie Smollett vibes. If any major news network gets a hold of that and he needs to start providing evidence that could be a really bad look for Delta.

My boy! I thought the same thing. I missed you!

How these influencers don’t violate Delta’s social media policy is beyond me.
