CA on CA I'll swing gear for you anyway brah

 

Double captain, I like it.

Can you work on getting some 5 stripe epaulettes for us?

 

Thanks for the gouge brah. I have tons of rollover minutes (like 30,000) so I'm pretty much guaranteed the job.

 

Alright now that's some good stuff. lollllllll

True, unless it is at the end of a sentence being quoted. Then one period for the quote, plus three for the ellipsis.

Sort of like epaulets. But only kind of.

 

Dude.... LMAO!!!!!!!

 

I'll laugh at anyone who quits because they were bypassed by a street Captain--definitely let me know if any of you guys do that.

That's a perfect example of the millenial entitlement brat mindset that seems to be more prevalent in the younger, newer ranks of our seniority list. People in their 30s/40s who grew up without Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter don't take every single thing that happens in their life/job as a personal insult. Something changed in the younger millenials--people around 18-25 years old or so. There's this hyper-narcissistic mindset, and if you don't constantly validate them, they cry and quit and run to mommy.

If a street Captain bypasses you because you don't have your time, you don't quit like a little girl because you think it's unfair--you bust your ass trying to get your 1,000 hours because you now have the seniority to upgrade.

Typical entitlement brat mentality: instead of working to overcome the issue precluding you from getting what you want, you take it personally and quit because it wasn't handed to you when you wanted it.

 

Sometimes I feel like I'm watching an episode of Girls when I talk to new hires crying about how unfair something is or how upset they are about their PBS award.

 

Depends on the situation. Say all aircraft arrive. No new growth. Mesa then hires enough street Captains that upgrades slow to a practical stop. You're a new hire that upgrade went from 18 months to 5 years now.

Mesa isn't a place to hang around at FO

 

You sound like an old man. Get those darn kids with their crazy rocking music off my lawn!

Studies have actually shown that anyone younger than 30 has had it harder than the 40 year old age group. They were raised during an economic boom and told to go to college and they'd make 70 out of the gates. Only by the time they got to college, the economy was in shambles and now nearly a quarter of them are unemployed.
