I went through 4 months ago and I said sum'n to 'em. Doubt I was the only one, but if so...so be it. Not offended by it personally, I'm trying to do better with it, but I let it rip as much as the next guy. There's simply a time and a place for everything, there's moderation, and professionalism. Let's have a great time but let's also project a professional image, especially when you're standing in front of a large group addressing them as instructor-student. It's different when it's a buncha guys & gals in the hallway or break room telling stories and shooting the sh...breeze.
You saying someone who shares my view should go walk off a pier?

You went through all of training THEN said something?
If it made you that uncomfortable even though you admittedly do it yourself why didn't you say something to them? I'm sure they would've done their best to keep it in check in front of you.
"professionalism" would've been doing the above, not putting someone's job in jeopardy because you think they aren't projecting the right "image." Don't make this something it isn't.
Did you actually do this in person to HR or did you do it anonymously through one of those evaluation forms?
Edit: looks like CRR beat me to it.

So this means we can expect you as an FO to maintain total professionalism in the flight deck at all times right?? I'm sure you wouldn't mind if people called pro standards if not. After all, that is the right thing to do correct??

As you now see, you have gained the attention that makes you appreciate having a screen name. "Shut-it" and move along. Aviation itself is a small community. Within a single airline, it's......personal.

Hey guys. I am a previous 121 pilot with 4500 hours as a regional fo, but i haven't flown in 2 years. Do you guys think I can go ahead and apply at PSA, or do i need to go out to the airport, rent a cessna and instructor and get instrument current first? I read on the previous page that some of the people who interviewed were not current.. so is that not an issue? Thanks.

There are a FEW captains that I want to stick their heads in the APU exhaust after few legs but those d bags aren't too common.

I don't disagree with you. However, going to HR instead of just politely asking the instructor(s) to tone it down wasn't the right thing to do. On day one, they had no idea if this would of potentially put the instructors job in jeapordy or if it would of been laughed off by HR. There is a proper way to do things and that isn't it.

This is pretty weak.
