Whether he's suffering from Kleptomania or not, this guy needs to see a psychiatrist to save his career!

 

Maybe the FAA should pull his ticket for failure "to be of good moral character" that is required in our profession.

 

So what ever happened to this idiot? The story is five years old...

 

The Zombie Apocalypse must be starting. First the brian eating out west, then the face eater in miami, now this thread that died long ago has come back to life to walk among the living!

 

I love the knee-jerk posting without reading the dates are going down to see the last post.

I thought the Dylan guitar story was interesting.

 

I love when people bring up the backpack. 99% of pilots I have seen lugging a backpack or a guitar have been old mainline guys. Claiming its so much better now that they have ship charts.......I am sure the next rule the FAA is going to implement is 600TPIC Before you can put blinking lights on your roll aboard wheels.

 

Well, to be fair, those 135 jobs aren't that plentiful as we find ways to be more efficient and not have to burn Jet-A to transport any and everything, especially short distances. Checks are done electronically. More businesses are using electronic means of correspondence, and so on. Then there's the myriad of regional airlines that shouldn't even exist in the first place, as they were propped up by creditors to buy airplanes and kept from failing by the government regulations. If you stick your neck out and put in the hard work, there's no reasonable means of reward or being successful. It's not that people want a free-ride, but there has to be at least a reasonable possibility of attaining something better. So with the industry as it is, it's hard to blame the pilots that you are getting. No one worth their two cents would be getting into the game now. As a society, we all want to have things cheap and not pay the true cost. We want to be able to send huge packages for just a few bucks. We want to travel across the country for only a few hundred dollars. We want gas at a dollar a gallon. We want all these things, and if given the option of the quick and easy which may be or is unsustainable, we choose it 100% of the time. This goes both ways, don't just blame the younger "generation", blame yourself for making all of the above choices, and if you can't do that, blame the businesses that gave you those choices, and if you can't do that, blame the government that allowed the business to give you those choices. Human nature is pretty clear, and there are good guys out there that want to make a difference and do the right thing, although it seems like most people like to deny the implications of their decisions and have to have the right thing "forced" on them...

 

Last time I check it was 1500 TT. When.is the last time it was wet commercial besides a very short stint in '07? Genuinely asking. Don't get too high on your horse.

 

Hahaha Love when people don't read the dates of the threads
