Shyguy, you sound jealous..So tell me, how do REAL Airline Pilots write? You need help my friend..

 

Well, for starters they don't capitalize "airline pilot". I'd think with your education you'd be able to sort that one out.

 

Potato, this is an anonymous forum. I don't think I'm handing in a paper for school. I guess you haven't come across many Ivy graduates in your life. We are not that different from your normal college graduates, yes academically smarter but that's about it. We are not nerdy intellectuals as you are assuming. Anyhow, I have no beef with you. Shy guy comes across as a very sad person, hope he gets the help he really needs. Shy guy does it make you jealous that I will retire in the single digits at UAL? It should bother you a lot..If you were such a great pilot you wouldn't be flying for the airline you are currently at. You would be somewhere desirable and what's it to you that I only applied to United? It's none of your business..I know how to be a real douc$&bag but I will stop.

 

^^^^^^^^^^

What he said!

Give me a break. This guy is a joke. He's probably cleaning the lav in Blackstones G5 at TEB.

 

This whole time and not a single post in ANY of the United threads, nor the United/Continental merger thread, or anything to suggest an interest in United.

The closest thing was your inquiring of working at Commutair in November:

Haha. No newhire at a legacy writes like you do. No way did United hire you, nor did you interview there. I stand by what I wrote.

Your posts are like that of a 20 year old in college dreaming to one day work at the major airlines.

 

No you wouldn't. "United was the only airline I ever wanted to fly for my entire life and the only airline I ever applied to."

AA's international operations out of LAX are quite small. UA has a huge international presence from SFO which is very commutable.

Pay and benefits at UA and AA are superior to SW? On the 737, I would argue that no, they are not. If they are at all, it's not by much. However, there are sooooooooo many more factors to consider for anyone in this position; none of which you seem to understand or comprehend.

 

Congratulations on getting hired, I hope to be in your shoes soon. Having said that, you're being breathtakingly inflammatory with your posts on a public forum titled "Who's been hired". You'll be on probation for a year and you made yourself easily identifiable. You never know who lurks on these threads so I would tread carefully.

But again, congratulations. It is quite an accomplishment.

 

Uh I'd venture to say there are plenty of people "academically" as smart or smarter than the generalized Ivy League grad. I know plenty. Plenty get in for sports, plenty get in for money, plenty get in because of their connections, and plenty get in for diversity. Do you know how hard it is to get into a top tier school as a non-connected white male? You can be at the top of your class, get a top score on the SAT, be a member/leader of myriad clubs, and still not get in. I know plenty of Ivy League guys who aren't that smart.

Additionally, plenty of extremely smart individuals go to state schools or even community college as a matter of practicality, finances, or responsibility (helping to work to take care of kids/family for example). Not everyone gets handed financial aide and scholarships. Not everyone aspires to go to an Ivy League school either. Plenty of smart people don't even want to deal with college. They don't need it. The only thing that Ivy League experience is good for is brand recognition and networking. Get off your high horse and go back to the tool of the day thread and nominate yourself...nobody likes a pretentious kid coming around here gloating.

 

Mod Note:

This is a thread for people to post when they've been hired. This is not a thread for your life story or odious comparisons about which airline is better.

 

Well, other than my sister who is a graduate student at Penn, and the several friends I made while living in Boston for a year... you're right. :roll eyes:

Anyone get hired recently?
