WOW... you just proved how arrogant you really are... Do you really think you deserve your seat? The dice fell for you... you were lucky, maybe even blessed, but i highly doubt deserving! I know plenty of Career regional captains that are very happy. Be careful what you say... you really just made an A$$ out of yourself.

I really want my career to land me a job flying a KingAir part time aorund the midwest so I can be at home every night with family... I know the $$$ won't be great, but does that make me a complacent loser? I think not. Just because you have penis envy and think to be respected in a "man's world" you have to fly for the majors, don't disrespect your fellow pilots. It's female pilots like you that think you have something to prove that do nothing but set other female pilots back. Just remember that people have different oppurtunities and very different priorities...

 

Take everything hotmammapilot says with a grain of salt, not everyone flying RJ's has terrible QOL, and hates their company. She's upset that RJ's are flying national routes, as am I, however she blames RJ pilots for it. I'm sure if you read enough of her posts she can probably link the plague outbreak in the middle ages to RJ pilots. However if regionals is the route you decide on, SkyWest is definetily for you, Junior Brasilia captain was hired this past summer, and with our growth, jet captain isn't going to be far behind. I believe it's going about 16-18 months at the moment. First year pay is really bad, but second year F/O is up there with the best of them. If you're looking for your Jet PIC so you can hop on with southwest, I think it's a great choice.

 

Like most people, when I decided to become a pilot, I had airline ambitions. However, I was totally ignorant of professional non-airline flying. I decided to forgo the airlines.
I am happy. I have went places, met people, did things that I would hot have had the opportunity to do otherwise. I am home with my wife most nights.
I have been fortunate and lucky. I would consider the fractionals, but I am content where I am at for now.
I do not regret my decision to fly 91 and 135. It does have it's pitfalls like anything else. I don't know your situation, but I think you are in a good position where you can log PIC turbine time--good now and in the future.
What you decide is up to you and your desires. Look at some of Flyer Josh's posts--he went from airline to Citation job.

 

Except eagle?????????? Did I miss something isn't ugrade time around 6 years there? Thanks for the laughs HotMama.

Go to NetJets you meet the min's.

If you want the quick PIC go to SKY or CHQ.

woh woh heel boy heel. When did I ever indicate that a king air pilot is a loser? That would be a sweet gig to be home every night. Typical of you to put words in my mouth. And. IMHO, career regional captains(by definition) are losers. From day one of flight lessons...was being a career RJ captain their goal? I doubt it. So, by definition, they are losers.

 

You say by the time you are 30yrs, you would rather be a CA at skywest. That should sum it up for you. One of the most famous questions in an interview is "where do you see yourself five years from now?" If the airlines are what you want then please go for it and stand in line with the rest of us while management takes a turn to screw you.

 

The term riding dirty takes a new meaning here CaptainMark!!!! Just hope that is not the wife.

 

Stuckupmommapilot, we're all glad you finally realize the reason you got hired!!!!! Good luck on a miserable life with everyone you fly with.

 

R U KIDDING ME!!!! Their goal was to fly for a living, to be able to provide for their families and enjoy life aloft. A career RJ pilot makes 80K-110K a year with a CHOICE schedule. I know that 80K-110K a year isn't what a UPS CA makes but it works for them. Seems to me that if they have chosen to stay where they are then they have reached their goal. Who are you to say otherwise?

LOSERS?!?!?!
