contemplating it, but I the 7 on, 7 off is a deal breaker..............How the hell can you have a solid family life like that?

"the 7 on, 7 off is a deal breaker..............How the hell can you have a solid family life like that?"

HAHA...now I know you're in the wrong business. 7/7 is a great schedule. Typical where I work in what you would consider one of the best jobs out there. A job even Sky considers worthy. If you can't make 7/7work, follow Sky's advice, and find another line of work.

7/7 maybe be a great schedule for you, or Skyhigh, but not me :)

Again, I am a daytrip kinda guy. In all reality Charter/NetJets just doesn't really appeal to me that much, neither does Night flying ;)

More than a third of UPS and FDX flying is day-time flying.

I think SAAB is in a very dark place right now and he is the only one who can pull himself out of there...follow de727UPS advice...he is pointing you in the right direction.

maybe, Im actually surprised a lot of you guys are as happy with this industry as you are.

FedEx and UPS, I would obviously kill for, if one could keep the night flying to a minimum :), NetJets just isnt my style ;), same goes with Emriates, You couldn't pay me enough to live in DUBAI

Perhaps at the moment you are but I'm not the one constantly crying about how much it sucks to be a pilot.
Saw your response coming from about 100 miles away.

Yes and this is the kind of representation you get with an ALPA rep......someone in a dark place who doesn't like the profession. I feel sorry for the XJet EWR folks. What a gip.

So SAAB, you don't like charter, don't like 7 on 7 off, don't like night flying and you don't like 121 as a whole. Ya know man I don't like the sight of blood, working 48 hrs straight, dealing with unscrupulous HMO's and working the ER for years on end as a resident........THATS WHY I DIDN'T BECOME A DOCTOR!!!!!!

reading & comprehension just isn't your thing is it?

Apparently its DEFINITELY not your thing. I understand you "love" the job but hate the industry. Doesn't make it ok to constantly b**** about it. Get out for Gods sake and do us all a favor. Whats the difference anyway??? You hate the industry, leave.
