No dog in the fight, but here's a random legacy class circa right meow 2022.

In fairness, a non-insignificant portion of folks within certain Hispanic and Middle Easterner ethnicities are phenotypically white skinned (ask me how I know), so one can't assume all light-skinned within a far-shot picture are Anglos.

Anglos may have 99 problems in life, but being demographically underrepresented in multi-million dollar lifetime earning transportation grey collar work, is just not one of them.

You should see all my squadrons' historical commander picture halls. Makes that class picture look like a 1990s Benetton poster by comparison .

I provided what you asked for. You then decided to turn the question and keep straying off topic so I put my big girl pants on and ignored ya.

Alright guys, can we stop with this back and forth. It's really not needed here.

Naww dude. You just want to see life through your own lenses.

But anyways at the end of the day we share the same sky. Best of luck to you and hopefully you get hired at that legacy you’re targeting. (Truly mean that)

Take care.

I hate it too. And that the larger airlines hire pilots with ATP's. A private ought to be good enough. Or that they make you wear clothes. That's the worst. Uniforms? Total bull****. You should be able to show up with no education, just enough experience to drive a moped through a parking lot, and a tuxedo tee-shirt with flip flops and a beanie with a propeller on top.

Then again, there is some sage counsel floating around out there which reminds us never to go full retard. So, there is that.

Entitlement. Got some?

It seems what you're really asking is, "what is the most minimally qualified job I can get without having to work for it, that will let me live the way I want to live?" All you need to do now is define how you want to live, and doubtless a company will jump at lowering its standards to accommodate. Best of luck.
"Nosheperd" was just asking a simple question. He was even humble enough to preface it with "...dumb question, but...."

Then, obviously triggered, you proceed to disparage this person for being some kind of lazy underachiever. Did it ever occur to you that this pilot might've been around the block a time or two? Many of us, myself included, spent years flying for ACMI or non-sched operators. Now the gray hairs are showing & maybe we're fine flying something like an ATR in just one, or two time zones instead of 24. If the pay is decent enough, and one lives around the DFW area already, why not?

Maybe he hasn't been around the block, but he's taking care of a loved one. My Korean War dad/vet has major kidney issues & covid wasn't kind to him either. So, even if I wanted to go back to ACMI stuff, it'd be tough. Everybody's got a reason behind the choices they make.

Over-inflated ego, got one?

Couple questions, does the $17,000 sign on bonus come with a training contract and how long is it? Is the cargo flying schedule out of AFW 5 on 5 off? As a commuter the 5 on 5 off is very appealing to me.
