Don't get butthurt, it wasn't hating in the least bit.

Not shrinking, just reducing employee size, fleet size, MX size lol.

That is the scuttlebutt. And that it is a temporary pause, but probably for many months. Sorry.

Free FBO coffee/snacks and hotel points do not pay the mortgage nor put kids through college.

True, but you can take 10 pictures of all the stuff the FBO offers, like a psychopath, and use it on a forum to show why an Alaska Airlines pilot is worse off than a NetJets pilot lol...

Guys , it's all good , really it is, I LOVED 121, loved it ( a 727 ,what's not to love ?), and I groove on this frac thing too. Strive to be happy . I think if you all met face to face the tenor of the conversation would be mucho different.

No pathetic is roaming around the FBO on one of the many airport appreciation assignments you get, taking pictures of food to make condescending comments to former co workers. You just can't let anyone say any piece of reality without getting massively butthurt.

Whats Sparro?.

Usually stop and grab either a prime rib sandwhich or sushi before the flight. May or may not eat the crew meal, which is usual as good or better than most NJA food. Especially Rudy's....

I don't mind paying for my meal because it's only 4 or 5 times a month, and at double the salary of a NJA FO it doesn't bother me too much. And with the 15-17 days off a month I can eat whatever I want most of the month. Oh and day 1 of work I eat breakfast and lunch at home, on day 3 I eat lunch and dinner at home.

Am not too impressed with FBO cookies or snacks because I am not 22 anymore so don't salivate over the free FBO snacks. Plus in a 6 hr typical duty day I am in the plane for 5 hrs. Not much sitting around in FBO's or airports.

Sorry your time at the airlines sucked so bad.. Or maybe you just ate too much Sparro??

Not sure how bidding the Phenom would be an improvement, but yeah, someone hired in late 2006 hasn't had the opportunity to bid a more comfortable cockpit (Latitude or Challenger 350) until less than a year ago. Until just a couple of years ago, all the open bids for the large cabin right seats went to captains voluntarily downgrading.
