if you think blaming someone, or a union entity will make you feel better, that's truly your own business. The same my crappy regional is better than your crappy regional is getting old. Instead of pointing fingers, how about we show some respect to other professionals. Although I'm the eternal optimist and hope that one day we can all sit down and sing cumbaya, I'm a realist in saying that we're not going to be able to get anything done in this industry if we keep blaming each other.

Well said, honestly its that "my wee wee is bigger than your wee wee" mentality. I'm always amazed how still employed REGIONAL pilots think that they (and only they) are entitled to tell somone how to live their life, please...We are all adults and we are all capable of making our own decisions thank you very much.

That is profesionalism 101, you may not agree with a guy, but he still deserves to be treated like the professional he is...Its kinda funny that they are like religious zealots, throwing what amounts to a temper tantrum when they dont get their own way.

Well said......I am often reminded that my Father used to say," A man that points a finger at another man, needs to look down for he has three fingers pointing back at himself"...

This is all the fault of the Major airlines and the FAA...

Major airlines should require 1,000 hours of CFI or 135 single pilot.

The FAA needs to require 1,000 hours PIC in AIRPLANES with no substitutes!

^ I agree, you can always tell one someone was a CFI or had a lot of stick time toying around in a 172, its the guys that went from 0 time to an airline in 12months that are awful..................

disagree... just like every other profession you either have it or you dont. i went from zero to CRJ-900 in 14 months. first day/first flight of IOE i heard the words "your leg your brief"... and you know what, it went fine because i have it. I'm quite good at what i do, but at the same time i deeply hold the belief that every day in the air is another opportunity to learn something new and grow as an aviator. i've been humbled and i have impressed and i've never even touched a 172.

I'm sorry but I can't resist: I hope this is an attempt at flame bait.:o

Dont be jealous because you do not have "it" :rolleyes:

hmm you probably suck and just don't know it.. anymore, even 10th place gets a trophy.

UNBELIEVABLE

Just curious how cheaply you gave your amazing skills away for to fly that 90 seat jet. Just because you can be an oxygen thief in the right seat with minimal time doesn't mean you have the decision making skills to handle something when the ****** hits the fan and everyone is expecting you to save their bacon.

You may have it but you ceartinly don't get it.:eek:

Dude, you are awesome. Do you mind if I poke my crazy straw into that giant cup of kick as$?
