True satisfaction can only come through a proper relationship with Jesus Christ.

Is this Bryan Bedford in disguise? I kid!

The OP has been in the 121 world 3 months, probably has 20 hours of airline time. Great thread, telling pilots how they should feel about their job started by someone that has not the first clue about 121 flying. This place. . .

You're either trolling hard or you need to be pulled offline for a psyc eval. I'm not sure which, but I'm starting to fear it's the latter.

I also noticed that and found it hilarious. I can't wait to see what this guy is typing here after the SJS wears off and the suck starts to set in.

You still don't get it.

Not About Me...
 

I wasn't trying to make this post about me. But to defend my 3 months in 121 I will give a little history.

-I flew in Alaska 135 for a number of years.

-I came to 121 to get IFR experience, a jet type rating, and useful experience that I can use in the future.

- I made a decision that X$$ compensation and X QOL was equal to my expectations for the work/service I am providing.

-I do not have any pipe dreams about my future in the airlines, I most likely will be here for 1-2 years before I move on to continue my life goals.

-I certainly know nothing about the life of a 10 year airline pilot, but I know that if I am as unhappy as many who post here after even a few months I will move on to the next chapter in my journey.

I will admit that I misquoted/misspoke about the website. I am sure the intention was to provide up to date, useful information, that would benefit pilots in many ways (which I think it does, gouges, hiring status, etc) -- but the other posts that are so negative and inflammatory seem far less productive (much like this thread has gone in just a few SHORT hours).

I am a nobody, with little experience in the 121 world. I was simply trying to say, that if the industry I have entered, if the pilots I work with, continue to have such a melancholy, disinterested, negative attitude -- what is it to make me/to make you stay? (the money, the glory, the dream of LEGACY?) Just seems like there may be a place where our hard work, efforts, dedication, dreams, and attributes will be more deeply appreciated/noticed than the world that is 121 Airline flying.

Sorry dad, I forgot I don't know how to read a document. Next time I will ask for permission before I speak.

Get a life bruh!

You're in the wrong business then my friend. It's full of *******s with A type personalities who throw you under the bus then back it up after it rolled over you. Thick skin is a must and you have to be able to play with the big boys.

I can't believe I'm actually responding to this numb nuts. The point is not about being superior to someone and putting a numerical value on ones worth is asinine. You seem to be telling me my paycheck should be similar to that of a janitor. I am telling you no, it should not. Do you really think pilots walk into the restroom at the airport and go, "I'm an 8, but that janitor cleaning the urinal? He's only a 2!"

Now, what is the proper compensation? I would say the proper compensation is one which allows you to live comfortably in the local of your choosing, while creating a nice retirement savings, providing for your family, being able to properly pay off your flight school loans (which that janitor does not have), among many other things.

I'm sorry if I can't quantify that number for you, but asking me to do that is like the Chinese student I had who asked me "at what altitude do I flair? Is it 5 feet, 6 feet, 7 feet?!"
