Eat a ****.

No. Come back when you fly something with a heading bug.

Neither is an easyjet captain. FWIW, I went to a major from your contractor airline at 26 years old. Could have been a major airline captain at 33 years old if I would have taken first upgrade.

Not bragging, but I am saying I am not impressed by a young crew working for a fraction of what a traditional crew used to make.

How ironic. That RJ you made CA on at age 24 was during a time when RJs bloomed and mainline DC9s, 727s, 737s, MD80s were parked and allowed for your quick upgrade to happen. Curious, how many legacy pilots were on furlough when you upgraded at 24? Talk about working for a fraction of what a traditional crew used to make? Pot calling kettle black. The RJ replaced mainline planes, mainline routes, and mainline pilot jobs.

Your not blaming the RJ pilots for that are you? I believe you were one as well.

No I didn't blame the regional pilots for that. Just ironic to see the statement above he wrote about a young crew working for a fraction of what a traditional crew made.

This is what I was alluding to with my snarky comment. The last 15 years saw the loss of thousands of mainline pilot jobs that were replaced by unqualified children in a ridiculously large fleet of RJs. I'm not throwing stones from some high perch. I'm also someone the "benefited" from the explosive growth of RJs at an enourmous cost. I contributed to the outsourcing of my future career yet as a starry-eyed 20 something, I was too blind to see it. It's just nice to see the end of the RJ era. Hopefully the same mistakes won't be made.

These guys don't make any money. Who cares how old they are. They are part of the race to the bottom.

20-year-olds were flying loaded B-17's in the dark of winter in formation for 4 hours to flak-ringed German cities defended by clouds of fighters. And back to a fog-shrouded base possibly with a damaged aircraft and wounded crew.
It can be done.
