I've had a few times just this winter out west with runway performance considerations, and fuel weight considerations with longer stages and alt fuel.

They don't want to waste time and money (thousands to tens of thousands of dollars) on someone who isn't going to hack it. Just because you hold a certificate doesn't automatically make you employable.
LOL now I know why I stopped posting in this board. Enjoy your bitterness.

I'm not bitter. I'm actually pretty happy. When I'm bored, I just enjoy trolling these message boards.

I'm very much a pilot but that doesn't matter. You don't like what I have to say. I will never jump on the "boo hoo bandwagon" and point out how ridiculous some the arguments here are.
