Let's see proof you made it out of elementary school. Nice grammar mr. pilut.

Joe. Shame on you for having high expectations. You should be happy to get paid in pretty sunrises/sunsets and turbine time. Sure you may want to retire someday and live someplace nice. You are so greedy for not wanting to live in an old folks home with retired janitors. I bet you think you should be able to afford to pay for your childrens' education in addition to yours. Just because you made sacrifices that others couldn't or wouldn't make doesn't mean you should be rewarded for them. Go enjoy your unexceptional paycheck and your 18 days away from home each month. I know the rest of these super intelligent guys on here will.

It is a dismal, miserable career and if one day it does it get better, the pain and suffering we had to endure still would overshadow the few good years

that is all


Try being a poopsmith.

I did, however my issue isnt really with Expressjet, it is with the industry as a whole. I knew full damn well I would have upgraded sooner at Colgan, but I didn't care that place was a nightmare, now its just the industry as a whole :)

Also I love the newbies looking for a newhire slot chanting "quit then" "you don't love aviation" blah blah. I love J-3 Cubs and grass strips, as far as the airline career, your 100% right I don't love it, I think we are too highly skilled individuals to work for such low pay. Also, I have been applying EVERYWHERE (outside aviation) and unfortunately I can't get a job, however I have been able to make some decent cash with my photography business, so thats good.

PS. It is laughable to think some of you guys can't understand where I am coming from, and to the ignorant guys who think the Airlines are about to really "Take off", your kidding yourself, their may be more jobs, but not a job I would want for the next 35 years ;) I haven't been on these forums lately, but it's nice to see the guys seeing my point of view are relatively seasoned on both APC and are real life Airline Pilots, not all ATP guys waiting for me to die to take my job. Also don't you guys think that part of the problem are the guys that would "LOVE TO BE IN MY PLACE"....pathetic


Also as a member of the ExpressJet MEC, I have been busting my A-- for the past 3 years trying to make this job a career again, so you can't say I at least don't participate........

The norm it seems is around 1000TT/100ME. We'll just have to wait and see. It seems like it would be better to start high (like republic) and work your way down (like Eagle has been doing).

Well soon all will be ATP i think? know Compass has it in the contract...cant be altered no matter how desperate they get. ATP mins period. Good idea though.

Staying Positive
 
One man's trash is another man's treasure, try to stay positive and take one day at a time. Going back to school is also an option, but that doesn't mean a guaranteed job either. I know a few lawyers that can't find work anywhere right now; it also doesn't look good for NJ police officers.

For all us wannabes out here that is great news. We just hope the "suction sound" doesn't slow down for at least 5 or more years.
