Don’t believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.
Really? So a second raise in less than 6months after the union left is smoke and mirrors? Enlighten me if you will Confucious. Dunno, maybe I just don't see it. Been in Fractional/135 most of my career along with a short stint in 121. The 121 life is terrible IN MY OPINION. ( I know personal opinion's freak you guys out and all). The 121 life is all glamorous until you're drinking the same stale coffee from LaQuinta (or some other roach motel) eating the same fast food, same 10 predictable airports each week, same talks (work work work work UNION work work work, Im not using a headset, work work work (see video on youtube if you don't know what I am talking about.) Im on my 9th wife, work work work work. ) I am all set, no thanks!. I don't need to be labeled an Airline pilot to be a real pilot. I disagree on the notion that 121 is the light, the truth, and the way in aviation. It's the church of flying. NOPE! Not for me. As previously stated, the people that gripe and complain on here are the 1% that every company has.
