You want a single reason? Here's one. Getting an airline pilot job is just too damn easy. As short as 10 years ago, a pilot would have to flight instruct for years, then go fly 135 for another year or two. Then if he didn't kill him/herself flying checks in a C401 at night single pilot with no radar, he applied (and usually paid more $) and got a job where he sat in the right seat of a turbo prop for another 2 to 3 years. Then after 5 to 7 years that pilot would go the right seat of the jet or captain in the prop. Today.... graduate, get your license and you have a job. There is no respect for the position. What use to take years of blood sweat and tears, is now an expectation or many feel an entitlement. rant complete. Stick |

that's pretty bad, just what the passengers needed was someone to do something stupid...now they can complain about being late, being stuck on the ramp, and having the pilots steal from them...there was a time when they only believed it'd be those shady ramp guys taking stuff....but not anymore.

Reminds me of when I worked for Flight Safety in St. Louis. A TSA new hire going through initial on the Jetstream, took a liking to a picture of a TSA Jetstream in the lobby, so he took it. He was caught on the surveilance camera, and the center manager turned the tape over to TSA's management. The pilot had to come in and return the picture in person, talk about a walk of shame. I don't know what happened to him, but maybe he likes Ipods?

That is insane. I couldn't imagine working the flight with him after that. I hate people who steal. Idiot
