Aviation is too small of a world to talk to people in that manner. We must save that for management!!

 

We all say some dumb things on here at one time or another, but you're on a roll. With the info you've given about your hours and years away from flying it would be very easy for recruiters to spot your app and learn who you are. Just keep that in mind. We can all get heated, but don't burn bridges.

 

Apparently not me, according to some.

Once again, commenting on something is not complaining! Stating facts is not complaining!

I don't care if United is 90% female pilots, I don't work there. Why is everyone blaming me for bringing this up? I didn't bring it up, I just stated facts. A female or minority has never taken my job. I ain't mad.

We've gone way off the subject of regional lifers here. My question was answered a couple pages in.

 

Soooo, you're saying I'd make a good manager?

 

 

I hear you and I've considered that.

Like I said earlier, read my post history. I've been as cordial as can be, until I'm insulted.

Seriously, what have I said that is so bad except for giving it back to people who've attacked me. I honestly want to know so I can refrain from doing it again. I appreciate any feedback.

 

I wish that CommutAir crew would've thought that.

 

 

Okay. A drunk post. Probably something I shouldn’t do.
I speak as someone whose wife was an aviation pioneer in the military but then chose a different path. She really suffered some crap to get where she did. I saw what she went through first hand. So I don’t want to hear any lectures about women in aviation. Pulease.
I have no issue with a female being equal to me, heck, even a female who isn’t “equal” to me but a great person and pilot getting hired ahead of me. I’ve seen some of them and I tip my hat to them. They deserved what they got and they should hold their heads up proudly.
I, and speaking for her here my wife, do have an issue with any substandard women (or men, for that matter), who get hired. We have seen in this industry women who can’t make it through training at a major. Rather than being washed out like any other person they are pushed off to another division, say recruiting, where their minority status can be marketed. Once their seniority can hold an easier airframe they are put back through training.
This is a disservice not just to the flying public, but a slap in the face to my wife and all the other women and minorities who busted their butts and overcame true discrimation to prove themselves as great pilots.
So that is my issue. Every time I look at what my wife went through and see anyone, white, black, Asian, female... doesn’t matter... getting a pass it makes me want to puke.
Sorry if I offended anyone.

 

Yup. No matter where you go, there you are.
Don’t judge your advancement or place in life against what others have attained. But look at your life as a whole. Are you happy?
And don’t judge others by where you are. As the slaves would whisper in the ears of Roman generals during parades, all glory is fleeting.
Why did that regional pilot become a “lifer”? Who knows. But don’t assume after a few years that you have this industry figured out. Thank God K4 threw me a lifeline. I will always be grateful.
