I'm talking about Clarance and his checkride failures even getting an interview in the first place, not the guy who had issues in the Frasca.

SLC guys give dirty looks to non-SLC based SKYW guys. That domicile may as well be a different company from the rest of Skywest

Dude got hired at Mesa he posts under the name Scotty Do since his old SN was banned. Took like 3 posts to figure out they were the same person. Does that suprise anyone that Mesa hired someone like that.

I've never run across anybody here who cares about Compass. Most I fly with have the attitude of "whatever, we're just a contractor". If they do get upset, who cares. Clearly they're an idiot.

CCB, you do make a lot of good points and I fear that too many guys don't crunch the numbers to see just how bad the pay is (at least for quite some time). While I haven't had the pleasure of receiving a 1st year FO paycheck yet, I've crunched the numbers. I'm lucky in the fact that I have a guard job to help me pay the bills. I know a lot of you guys probably hate guys like me for that...sorry. I've also spent enough time on the road to know that it truly does suck sometimes. However, I always tend to look at the bright side. I consider some of the flying I've done to be REAL flying, but I seldom make it through a Cuban 8 without spilling my coffee and tracer rounds can be quite irritating. I know the airlines have a whole new ball of suck that I haven't experienced yet and I appreciate CCB shedding light on these areas.
I knew exactly what I was getting into, as did pretty much the 19 others in my new hire class a few years ago. I had saved up money, and had no debt. Others in my class did the same, or had other income streams.
I'm sure you didn't mean it, but your post makes you sound like a tool. I hope you lose the "Tracer Rounds" attitude, as most here don't want to hear about it.

Give enough time, you might even see some of those things I pointed out. Lesson 101, Skrew Skeduling isn't your friend, they have one job, staffing trips, so while you think you are a unique, delicate, snowflake, in the eyes of SS, you are an employee number, a warm body filling a slot, and their obligation to you ends when you agree to whatever corncob they are trying to jam in your tater. They rely on newhires not understanding the rulebook, read it, know it, live it.
CS will do WHATEVER it takes to fill the seats.
