Kind of funny you should call it the "airline stink". Prior to the 1500 hour rule, it was quite common for part 91 pilots to take a leave of absence, go to a regional for a year or two to get the hours needed for an ATP, maybe even upgrade and get the regional to pay for an ATP and type rating, then go back to their part 91 department. I flew with several FO's who were doing this. Didn't bother me or anyone else a lick. No one ever referred to a "part 91 stink". All anyone cared about was that you were a safe pilot and followed procedures. I was happy for them that they were able to achieve their aviation goals.Originally Posted by biigD
I understand - I didn’t say all of them would, just most, and I think that’s true. It’s not a knock on NetJets - it’s just there’s a reason airline pilots are airline pilots, and a furlough generally doesn’t change that.There’s a reason we called it the ‘airline stink’ in my 135 days!
