First of all...WOW
Second of all when did you guys get DC9s???

Get over yourself

 

Welcome to the 21st century, my friend, where a "new 9" reigns supreme. You too could grace the right seat of this bird. Just think of all the bragging rights you'll have! Who would want a job at a legacy flying an ancient DC9 when you can fly the "new 9" at a regional for $24 an hour!

 

This is what we get when our industry hires pilots under 23. Miss the days where most pilots were prior military. Much more respect was given to one another.

 

Don't hate! There are humble young guys in the industry. I do generally agree about military pilots though...I'm personally more inclined to respect military training, at first glance, over civilian primary training.

 

I have all the right to hate. I see how people act that are so young in this job. When I was 23, I was serving my 4th yr in the military. The kids these days think they know everything. They think that just because they got a chance to do what pilots back in the days could never do (start so young) that means they are better. The lack of respect for education and to better ones self just cheapens the value of our jobs. Even had kids say "Why should I go to college when I can get a job as a pilot without one". Looking for every loophole they can find without trying. I understand that generalizing all pilots under 23 as a group may not be fair. But so many of them don't prove otherwise. Just look at how these threads always turn. Many times if you do some digging you'll find out that they are young F.O.'s that turn a debate into a rivalry. Now I am not saying the military is the only way to do this, college is another great way to just GROW UP. This job is no joke, not to treated as an EGO contest. You have 35-76 lives in the back. If you value the job, treat it with respect.

 

Yet another FLAMEBAITER! UGH! Don't pay attention to this weasel. You don't fly the -9. You haven't even come close to earning that title. Poser

 

Has anyone EVER heard of sarcasm?

 

Blumpkin very funny screen name but obvious flame bait!

 

i can't believe it took you guys this long to figure out this whole post was flamebait. As soon as I saw "XJ 9 skipper" under the OP's position I knew it was either flamebait or someone REALLY stupid.

 

Oh come on son! Last time I checked, XJ didn't have any DC-9's. Its a 900 or a CR9, not a '9'. Poor form ole boy... show some respect.
