I’ll let you know how it goes.

As someone who is nearing mandatory retirement, and not happy about it, I can tell you that my feelings about retiring are much different now than they were 10 years ago. There were a lot of personal lessons during the Covid break, and one of the biggest was how much I missed flying trips, having a mission, and how much better my wife of 40 years and I get along, when I am away half the month. Can I respectfully suggest that if a 65 year old pilot says he wants to keep flying, guys and gals here, simply take the statement at face value, and not project a bunch of personal baggage? You have no idea what a pilot has been through personally and professionally. Many of us have several lengthy furloughs in our history, long periods stuck as an engineer of FO, as well as financial setbacks, divorces, etc. I'll be honest, it's a bit of an insult to be told by a much younger pilot, that "I don't know what I'm getting into" , "Be careful what I wish for, etc. I do my best not project my baggage on to younger pilots looking for career advice, and I am asking for the same courtesy in return. Just the facts please. Peace, out....

Anyone have an interview gouge? Didn't see them listed on aviationinterviews

So there I was, on a west-to-east coast transon a few months ago. Once we got on with LA Center, there was a Thrive call signed aircraft also on freq, that basically followed us to MIA.

It was painful having to listen to the jack wagon who was working the radios on that flight, all the way across the country.

So, I wouldn't expect much more than having a pulse and the ability to fog a mirror, purely based upon how snapper head publicity represented his company over the radio.

Snapper-head should be hyphenated, and capitalized, as used in place of a proper name.

So should "jack-wagon"

I'm sure your carrier / operation is the model for R/T procedures😮‍💨.

Expensive training contracts, hostile work environment, vindictive management.

There are better alternatives.

JohnBurke

Irrelevant, as it wasn't included in the sentence, but had it been, then it should have been capitalized, "Jack-wagon."

Jack-wagon, as previously used in the same post, should certainly have been hyphenated, but not capitalized.

You understand why this is being said at all, don't you?

It has nothing to do with grammar. It has everything to do with being a jack-wagon about someone else making radio calls.
