I have a problem with it because it glamorizes their job and is a recruiting tool for Ryan air. Their cadet program is everything that's wrong with aviation. The only get paid when they fly, there is no base pay. They pay for a type rating that takes over two months to complete with again zero pay, they do IOE for two more months with no pay again, and on top of that they are contractors not employees.
This picture they paint looks so amazing but its not reality and unless they're parents are subsidizing they're adult kids I have no idea how these pilots are even eating let alone taking kite boarding lessons.
Apparently one of the "Marias" has a dad that is a SAS captain. Why he didn't strongly advise her against this pay to play model in these times blows me away.

Anyone who constantly posts selfies of themselves no matter what their profession has some issues. There's nothing wrong with an occasional picture, especially if it's in a cool destination or with long-lost friends or co-workers, but some of these guys/gals are too damn much.
Oh, and there's a differernce in a selfie and a moronic pose making a stupid face or flashing some hand signs. C'mon boys (and girls)....you're not a frat boy anymore. Jesus. It turns my stomach and inspires VERY little confidence to see someone I should look up to posing like an idiot.

The pouty lips pose, "I'm sad because it's raining" was especially cringe worthy. You're supposed to be a professional now, how about not acting like a 5 yr old when in uniform. Franky I'm kinda surprised the employer is OK with all the flight deck nonsense being posted up for all to see.

We've all done at least ONE selfie. Posted it online, etc. We're talking about the narcissists that take multiple selfies and photos of themselves. They're not just "enjoying their jobs and life." They have an attention ilness. PilotMaria is hot and all, but girlfriend is out of control. Next time she posts a handstand photo i'm going to use her as a vase.
