Was I a bit sarcastic about this whole thing, and maybe a bit over the top with caps letters? Sure. You got me.
I admitted my fault with being optimistic, I even came clean with inexperience and a WET certificate.. You have an ego problem and you got called out on it. Since I must be coming clean in my shortcomings as a young professional, I'll let you in on another fact.. I'm a 24 year old FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR not a recruiter. Have there been incentives ($500) for referral.. Yes. I've been very open about that and if you want to fault a man for trying to make bread then again.. Go look in the mirror and continue to be depressed or whatever the hell you are to come at people in such a blunt demeanor. Judging by the looks of things you're at Compass, and what a shame because I know a lot of good friends there, I may be there soon.. But I'll pray I don't end up on a trip with you because your attitude sucks.

Maybe I don't need that psych evaluation after all. Go figure.

In your youthful zeal to be right you managed to trample over everyone else who spoke the truth, tossing insults and poking jabs. At least you learned a lesson, "dude." You've got a lot more to come.

I'm getting texts and phone calls wanting me to come work for transpac. They must be ramping up their hiring.

Call me out and claim I have some big ego, I dont care. You dont know me. But the fact is many other users on this forum, including my self feel the same way. Because of that many of us posted about how TP and the like, are not as good as you claim it to be, and gave facts as to why. Those facts, you blindly shrugged off initially, only to come to realization about them later on. I applaud you for that. It takes balls to admit you were wrong.
My attitude about this career, and life is great, I love the company I am at and I am grateful to be here. I have never been happier, in fact. Once again, you dont know me.

But people deserve a fair warning about what goes on at these pilot mills you work for. So that is why I chose to post on your cheerleading threads. Is that my Ego? No. A fair warning to my fellow pilots and CFI's, YES. Calling out your lies, that you just admitted are purely for personal monetary gain that you regret saying in the first place, even though you continue to do it with this new school. You betcha.

So because of dislike and disagreement with what you have been doing online, many others as well as myself express our dislike for it. That somehow makes me a bad guy to fly with at totally different operation? I beg to differ. Iv flown with many ex trans pac guys, always had a good time, good pilots. (no good reviews about the place from them either...) We all come from somewhere, I too was at similar operation. I know what its like to try and build hours.

I dont have a blunt demeanor about places like TP because of rumors. I have been there and done that. I have gone through everything you have, but with open eyes.
You want to know why I hate places like this? Because one of my previous employers did the same thing... empty promises, overworked, underpaid, paid a few extra bucks to employees to try to swindle guys into a sub par operation.
What happened to my demeanor you ask? Friends died who went to these type places based off the same lies you have been spewing.
When in reality, maintenance is cutting corners, management threats to fly when sick/tired, students who had no business being in an airplane to begin with get pushed through the program, all leaing to accidents. A few of which, took friends lives. This cycle continues today, thanks to guys like you. So yeah, I am ****ed off, and hope that these posts prevent someone from being suckered into these operations who have a habit of over promising, and under delivering.

Hey flyboy, the key to an airline job career is to remain highly mobile. Yes, you will work for some regrettable flying jobs but the key is get the flight time and move on. You increases your flight time but lowered your expectation of TransPac - So What! Move on down the road and know that flying jobs with horrible working conditions are a means to the end, that being getting the experience to be considered for the Majors. Best of luck!
