Are you complaining about people complaining? Do you get a pass? If this really is something you can’t stand you won’t be able to stand this job. The question is will you be able to…leave?

Leave a conversation with someone who is complaining? Sure. Your comment is all out of context.

**A “wealthy” “self employed” 60 year old** 🤣

I don’t know how many, if any are actively employed by gojet and complaining, but if they are...get another job. One thing I can’t stand is people complaining (a lot) about who they work for. If it’s so bad, leave. That’s all I’m saying. I don’t have much aviation experience...but I have plenty of life experience... and it’s too damn short to complain about.

Do you know how seniority works?

Sure do. Care to elaborate on your question?

Nah

What I found hard to believe was someone who describes themselves as (self employed, wealthy and 60s) defending TSA management....

But hey sounds like he’s got a great Seeking arrangement bio going. Don’t forget to include a picture on a boat!

What are they saying in indoc these days? Are the rest of the planes coming from Skywest or from somewhere? How much hiring? Any flow to Spirit or Atlas? How many were in the class of the 19th? Are they going to pay the bonuses they promised previously? Are they ever going to clean up from the flooding at headquarters?

And in fact, nothing in his posts indicate he's defending anyone or anything.
But it's your rant and being self employed, wealthy and 60 seems to be an issue with you.
Pointless yet everyone has their ax to bare..

My question on seniority was based on your suggestion that of people are unhappy with their current airline situation then they should just quit. If you know how seniority works, then you know it's not that easy. An unhappy regional pilot may be trying to move on to a legacy/major/LCC/cargo but that's not a given. Their other option in your scenario would be to quit and start over on the bottom of another regional seniority list. "Better the devil you know..." and such. If you are just getting your commercial certificate then you have a long way to go before you will be at an airline. Keep us posted on your progress. I hope you still have the enthusiasm after you have been grinding away "flying jets and getting paid" for a few years.
