Many on here think they are owed some amount of "respect" because of their chosen profession. However, when one reads a thread like this one sees a bunch of people griping over the feds cracking down on them taking videos of themselves flying. And you wonder why you're looked down upon by those of us at the majors. This is a career and not some after-school job. When many of you refer to your peers as a "tool" because they follow the rules, that doesn't say much about your level of professionalism. In fact, it further reinforces the stereotype that many of you at the commuters/regionals are nothing more than a bunch of young punks with shiny-jet syndrome. Why do you need to film yourselves in the first place? Do you honestly think that people are impressed because you fly an RJ? You have it all wrong. Don't you know the number of chicks you can pick up on Myspace when they watch your video and find out you are a jet pilot??????? |
It must be nice getting to sit on a perch.
We collectively screwed up and management won the round to send a bunch of work to the regionals. That combined with the crappy environment over the last while means a great deal of pilots have been and will continue to remain at the regionals for a while. It is not something to whine about, it just is. However, those people you look down on would have been at a major for a while given the prior environment. Yes, it is bad to call someone a tool for following the rules. However, it seems the point most are trying to make is that the FAA chooses to pursue this issue to the detriment of more important issues that have a greater impact on safety. |

The subject matter of this particular thread already implies that they are the group in question. |

Don't point the finger at regionals when everyone does it. |

I know before I started flying, flightsim and youtube videos were excellent motivation for me. The guys who are just starting training love to see how the big boys do it. There is a reason why the "justplanes" company sells so many cockpit videos (which, btw, are never on American carriers).

Get off of your high horse. Don't tell me that you have never broken the sterile cockpit rule. You're being a complete hypocrite. Are you stocked up on hair products?:rolleyes:

The original video in question was taken by a jumpseater. |
