What about where YOU work?
 
It's easy to criticize where other people work. What about where YOU work? What don't you like about it where YOU work? Or is it all peaches, cream and living the dream for you?

Uh oh, I sense multiple airline bashings coming :) No place is peaches, cream, and life is never as good as a dream. The grass is always greener type thing...

Yeah, the grass may be greener, but when you jump the fence, you may land in a pile of dog pooh.

Or sometimes it's not really greener, just gets mowed more often.

I'm a CFI.

Pro's:
Tons of students
Lots of flight time
Good Income
My own boss
Acuna, Mexico is 3miles from where I live

Con's:
I've soloed around 35people this year.... Any idea how much pattern work I've done.
Airforce never gives strait answers
I'm in the middle of the desert where any cute women already have 3 kids.
Same thing day in day out. As soon as you teach one you get another greenhorn...
Don't know anyone except my students.


I know you're talking regionals. But before you start bitching think about where I'm at or where you came from lol. Also, there isn't dog pooh on the other side of the fence. It's cow. That's why you always see cows with their heads through the barbwire. Because they are eating the grass that is greener on the other side.

Hey dude, God bless you for what you're doing to make life happen for you. As long as you're happy, it matters not. Though I do sympathize with the cute girls aspect :)

In all of the time I've been a pilot---from a student pilot to where I am now... that might be the best thing I've ever heard a CFI say!

I work at Pinnacle, and I like where I'm at. I go to work, do my job, pick up my check and come home. If I hate it then i would find another job or another place to work. There might be some better regionals out there but Pinnacle seems to be fine for me.

This is very close to the what I add to the grass is greener cliche. The grass is always greener on the otherside...until you realize that it is fertilized with manure.

I really can't complain about where I work. We've got an awesome pilot group, and even first year pay is somewhat decent. About the only thing that sucks major monkey balls is having to commute from the west coast to the east coast... then again, that's self induced. :p
