SkyBus seeking A320 Check Airmen

Green face you are just flat wrong
I have been reading your posts for quite some time and I am really tired of your ranting and raving about SCABS, B6, Skudbus, and VX. You may have had a point back in 1999 when UAL and DAL were trying to outgun each other with the top pay scales and they were hiring at all the then majors, but to call these guys today SCABS or ruining the professsion, you gotta be kidding me!
I suppose you expect these guys to crop dust or fly merlins at night so that they can hope to come work with guys like you, sit F/O for 10 years praying that the senior pilots ahead of them don't try to screw them every chance they get? The secure airline career that you were fortunate enough to be hired into has changed two fold. The pay and work rules have been gutted. Pensions are gone and the risk of furlough still looms. Why not encourage a pilot to get out and fly decent equipment, get some good PIC time, and then come join you at your "legacy" when the airlines return to profit. You know that guy might be a pretty decent F/O for you. However, if he is that guy that you embarassed and kicked off of your jumpseat, you may not want him as your F/O. I can guarantee that he wont want to fly with you and most likely will never consider flying for your airline.
After 9/11, I lost my "legacy" job and my family has suffered greatly for it. I remember flying with Captain's like you. I flew with a Captain who spit on a Comair guy because they were getting RJ's. He did not even know that Comair was ALPA. Is that you green face? A narrow minded narrow body Captain unaware of the world outside of his tiny cockpit?

.....the box
Yeah I'm in the same boat. I'm getting old, my real airline job went away when the company folded after 9/11, and the only thing scarier than starting out new with a start-up, is trying to feed my kids on unemployment...

Maybe we should all sign a petition and have this green face clown banned from the forum.

That's got to pay pretty well, no? I'd say you did ok...

Sold my soul overseas
I got an a320 type and PIC time for a small outfit in the US and then went overseas that same year and was fotrunate enough to get with a company that needed airbus people. It has been tough on the family but at least we are surviving. I could go back/recall, but not going to do it. The money is too good to leave.
