1. someone else’s good deal is my bad deal.
2. if you’re not doing what I’m doing you’re doing it wrong.
3. working for $150k a year as a pilot in command is hogwash! Never mind that they can pick and choose when to work.
4. If you’re the lowest paid airline you’re absolutely ****. On a side note, don’t forget nock foles was once the highest paid qb in the nfl.

The only age discrimination I do know exists is with federal jobs and the military.

This is coming from a 22 Y/O FO that came here to get quick PIC and wants to take advantage of the bias.

I don’t care what their reasoning is it’s never ok to use language some of them use. End of story.

I know of Mesa pilots at Omni, ATI, Kalitta, Atlas. Etc.
And I also know of Mesa pilots at American, Delta, United, and FedEx. And Alaska and Hawaiian and jetBlue now that I think of it.
only major I don’t know of is UPS.
you’re statement is like a Trump statement: totally baseless and absent of facts.
