True, not many people aspire to be the #1 most hated RJ pilot in base at a regional airline.

When I go work a trip, I usually enjoy myself. The flying is still fun and I have mostly escaped the horror stories of reflows, shorted paychecks, 16 hr duty days, and the like. I'm sure that will change, but until now it's been a mostly positive experience.

But when I read these forums, I feel just the opposite. The sniping, the negativity, the insults (a few of which I have myself admittedly supplied), the doom and gloom... It's enough to make anyone wonder why they joined this industry. It's just depressing. I always log off feeling worse than when I logged in.

So I'm done with this snarkfest. Thanks to those who helped me out when I was considering joining this racket known as the airline biz. Much appreciated. See y'all on the line.

I had no idea that being a pilot also was a popularity contest. Wow do I get 2 ribbons? Why just base. what about company wide? It could be your purpose in life, a special purpose.

Hey gramps.... You just replied to the same post twice. Let me feel you in about the rules of the fancy interweb machine, that's the first sign of getting owned. Sorry. Give me a call when it's time to get rid of those phantom pop ups that keep frightening the grandkids.

Pretty much. The other 17980 are smart enough, like kfahmi, to avoid posting and reading here because they enjoy their lives/jobs too much. The most negative of the negative are the ones who post here and I think he's in the majority for avoiding this place:rolleyes:
