Default Knowone cares guys

I hate to break it to you guys but once you're on with a major knowone cares if you flew for Mesa, Go Jets, Colgan etc. Most of the guys won't know what the hell you're talking about anyway because they're ex-military. Unless you flew an F-18 off the Ike in the Med they're not interested.

People DO remember the guy who hosed them out of the jumpseat and/or treated them like crap. Most airlines post the names of those interviewing and allow you to register your comments. Aviation is a small community. Your F/O now could easily be your chief pilot in 10-20 years. Be careful!

Knowone does care!!

http://www.knowone.com/

Too bad no one cares who Knowone is!

Just kidding, Browndog- I totally agree with where you're coming from though. But my question is, how do they feel about these GoJet guys who did essentially poop on their TSA brothers?

Any regional, sure no problem. BlowJets, Freedom A...you wanna bet? Two guys no names ofcourse, from one of the above, they've been turned down by CAL, FedEx, JetBlue, Airtran, and ofcourse SWA. One of them I think went corporate, the other still there. And just in case you're wondering, both had double the amount of PIC required at most majors, both were on the list....you make of it what you want, but I would never chance it.

Yeah, I tried to point that out in my first post.

Apparently some pilots aren't as well versed as others... Just kidding, mostly all you guys are good people in my book.

They also don’t hire people who forget to capitalize the first word of their sentence, correct a misspelled word with another misspelled word and then forget the period.

I too have friends who have been turned down at various majors. They have 8-10,000 hours, 3,000+ jet PIC time, 4 year degree, current MD-80 captains, RJ captains etc. None of these guys flew for Mesa or Go Jets or whoever else NOONE, I mean no one, is supposed to fly for. Explain that.

I hear a lot of guys saying they'll deny a pilot from such and such airline the jumpseat and things like this. People have long memories for that kind of stuff. You hose someone now and they'll be looking to hose you later. That's all I'm saying. If you want to stay mad at these guys go right ahead. One day, after about 10 years at a major, you'll reason NOONE, I mean no one, cares.

See ya!

Nothing personal Brownstain, but you strike me as the type of person that would stab your fellow brother on the back, then again, your typing skills do suggest you are a 14 year old that wishes his daddy was J.O.

Try not post garbage like this in the future as there are actual young pilots here to learn, and the last thing they need is some pimple head telling them is ok to work for a SCAB company.

Default Dirty Sanchez is back!

You call me Brownstain and a pimple head and say "nothing personal?" Then you tell ME not post garbage (instead of not TO post garbage). Then you make fun of my typing skills? HAHAHA, you crack me up! Thank you so much for a good laugh!

Take my advice at face value. I'm back to the major board, you guys have anger management issues. LOL.
