You would think.....BUT,, I fly with guys that are complete life disasters quite frequently.. They could not hold a job as a Walmart cashier. The only reason they make the money they do is because they can pilot an airplane...that's it! Zero ability to interact with with people, Multiple divorces, kids hate them, etc. Not all, but I would say a good 25%. To be honest, I was surprised at how many trainwrecks I have flown with only being with the airline for 15 months. With that being said, they have treated me well and are solid pilots, but I am not sure they could easily bring in capt pay in another industry.
With your opinion of airline pilots, this guy might be able to use you: http://filecache.drivetheweb.com/mr5...ampbell_hr.jpg Carl |

Yeah, what's the upgrade time? Or do we have to follow the typical career path, deckhand, first mate, chief engineer, captain?
If you have an MSY layover, go down to the ribber and watch the BTR pilots change with the N.O. pilots at 6kts. on the rope ladder. Uniform is checked sports coat and a fedora. Smooth operators them pilots.;) |

Not sure what your pre-Delta background is, and I honestly don't care, but you might want to wind the clock and think twice before you decide to criticize your co-workers on a public forum. |

Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away, before jump seat, just about everybody lived in base. There are still some diehards at ORD that meet once a week for pizza and milk..........
