are you currently at a 121 carrier or are you just getting started. i understand your reason for wanting to be successful, but you really should believe everyone on this board when they say the term Chief Pilot is very misleading. Its one thing to be THE chief pilot for the entire airline, but being "A" chief pilot makes you nothing more than a station manager.
I suggest you show the world your success through other avenues. being a pilot doesnt impress anyone, and being a pilot who manages other pilots, well... you get my point

Well, I dont drink, so I dont know, and like I said before. All my friends arent neccessarily my coworkers. i have a life outside of my job. You should not live to please others and make them like you. You should live to support your family. When you get over 30 years old, you will realize that
You are absolutely management material.

eh i dunno timmay. i think we should all ease up on grammatical and spelling errors on this board. and yes, i know that "eh" and "dunno" are not real words. so anyway, back to explaining to him why being a CP would be a mistake...

this is what makes a bad boss. Someone that defines THEIR job as success over others. Who clearly WANTS to be over people, reguardless of money made. Forget a 12 year 747 Capt. would make more, I need to be over him. Power is what I need. THAT is the sign of a bad boss who will live in a job hated. I personally would HATE to be hated by the same people you sat with on long flights, who you spent 10-20 years as friends. Pilots need to stick together. If bossing around the people you once called friends so to can feel impowered well then you have just met the definition of a bad boss.
Back on to your question, I would bet its just like any job. You can upgrade only so far until butt kissing and being someones little pet is needed. Find this point and switch friends.......THATS how you get to the level of VP, CP, etc.

BBBTW I used to be an NCO before Iwas officer. I thought I'd tell you that before you stereotype me in this little box. I mispell words onhere because I type fast, not because I cant spell. I think a lotof us do that and you know that> You justchoe to throw a shot at me. But like Isaid, I am not into insulting people. It just isnt thatserious to me. sorry.
