I am quitting, only a month left. Enjoy your "dream job" and the 40k a year paychecks.

Just curious where you are leaving too? What field?

He probably didn't expect anything other than what was promised when we all started at the regionals "a couple years right seat, 1,000 hrs in the left and every legacy will be drooling for you"... 7 years later their upgrade is finally about to happen...

Back to the regularly scheduled "my regional is better than yours because we have more shiny wings"... My opinion is some wings (smaller) fit well on shirts and others (the bigger kind) probably weigh the shirt down for its size and wouldn't fit well... Because of this I suppose different regionals have adopted different policies that fit their uniforms best...

I believe BzzT is going to be the new chief pilot at PSA.

Hey, I believe strongly in the advice to never take a job you can't walk away from... I just have no other skills nor can I afford to walk away from the job.. so yea, that seems to be how many of us get married to our job..

Thread from the dead, but closest to on topic I could find...

I'm curious as to what point in training civilian pilots earn the right to wear wings? It took a year and a half in the Navy, I'm assuming it'll be less on the other side.

I'm also curious as to what the design is, I've gathered that each airline has a different one.

Without looking like a tool IMO when your finish your ATP and work for an airline. A lot of eye rolling if some guy is wearing wings around his flight school because he just got his private or commercial.
