Congratulations. This is your most readable post so far. Truthfully, your posts seem to be flame bait. Without demeaning every pilot and all the pilot groups in one post, what was your point? If you will be more courteous, you will find that pilots will generally be more courteous in their responses. Go back and reread what you wrote. Taking you at your word that you are a pilot, I doubt you would be so discourteous in expressing yourself on a 4-day. I don't think you would talk that way in the crew room. Maybe you could restate your original opinion and see if you get less harsh replies. If you will make an effort, I will do the same.

Perfectly put Spad. I wish I could be as rational and as calm as you. I intend to be calm and rational. When my intelligence is challenged I struggle to remain calm.

I agree with you 100%. Maybe if JayRay would go back and try to restate his original comments in a way that would be acceptable in the crew room, he would have more courteous responses.

Here is the truth to the story and I think pilots hate to admit to this. Anybody, if they really wanted to be, is capable of being a pilot. You are not that special, not that talented and yes, not even that smart that anybody walking around on the street today couldn't do your job. So if you wanted to make money, why are you a pilot?
Um...Tell that to Steve Fossetts family.

I think what he means is we all had to start somewhere, no one was born with 5,000 hours and a CFII, and everyone knew what we were getting into as far as the regionals even as crappy as they are, if you didn't, you don't belong here, the unfortunate fact is if you want to get anywhere in this business you have to either know someone or pay your dues, this day and age in the aviation industry it's not what you know it's who you know...there's no sense in complaining about it on a forum, it won't get you very far...

Right now DJrogs and Jayray are sitting there wondering to themselves... I wonder what they mean by crewroom.... I better do a little more research on pilots before my next post.
