It's funny to see them turn red with anger and embarrassment, but they brought it on themselves, they usually don’t say anything just walk away.
gojets = contract workers, alter ego airline
Stay clear, or live with the consequences!

Just wait till one of them turns around and kicks your a$$ for what you said to them.

And its true they see all regionals the same. You have the PIC time and the jet/turboprop time....you are good to go. Your career at the regionals is a stepping stone in life. I would love to know how many on these forums actually intend on staying where they are at until they retire....my guess is less than 1%

And most of the time that CA or FO has a big say in whether you get the job or not.
My source includes a 747-400 Captain for Northwest airlines, a 777 Captain for Delta Airlines, a 777 First Officer for Continental and Vice President of International Operations for Northwest airlines. I have no idea...perhaps...but I think those people with over 100 years experience combined experience...might know a little more than you and me.

Not at UPS. UPS hires GoJet pilots.

I think you mean pilot. Not in the plural sense.
