Regarding the “I can’t stay home, I’m an airline pilot” profile pics on Facebook.

Colleagues, please stop this self aggrandizing none sense. Your companies are begging you to take time off and stay home. Tax payers are going to be paying to keep you employed. Leave that line to the first responders and medical staff. Have a little humility.

Pilots love self gratification.

THANK YOU!


Sometimes we carry medical personnel, sometimes we carry medical supplies, but the vast majority of the time we are just allowing people to travel all over the country. Just like the experts say we shouldn't. It's a joke to act like we're the hero in this story.

Thank you! I saw one Facebook post where a guy dressed up in his pilot uniform (minus the wings) took a picture in his bathroom mirror, announced his first day as an 'airline pilot' and he hasn't even begun training.

how’d he have a uniform if he hadn’t started training?

I don't have a FB account, but to compare a pilot with a first line responder in this case is ridiculous.

None of these people are acting like they are important....the posts are making fun of the idea that we are essential. But yes, stop that BS. You’re making us all look lame.
