I love disgruntled pilots. I often wonder what must have happened in your life to make it so miserable. Just don't be a d*ck...it's really not that hard, I promise.

Ooph… some doozies from our boy Russ here over the last year or so
and my personal favorite:
Oh Russ, with his life experience and orange smock who was fortunate enough to get hired at an inflection point in the phugoid cycle of the industry is going to advise me on the most egalitarian way to run my cockpit whilst reminding me not to complain too much as it’s really bumming him out. After all, we are still getting paid to fly shiny new jets and if we don’t like the way things are going, we can always just go do something less cool. Like selling building materials. For the life experience.
I never implied it would be “easy”. But you’re coming onto a forum masked by the internet and complaining like you have to worst job in the world. If it’s as bad as you (I don’t mean you personally) make it sound, than yes...just quit. Grinding away “flying jets and getting paid” is still worlds better than the alternative. Maybe be thankful for having a job at all...or that your job, well...is flying jets.
I have to say I am really disappointed in a lot of the posts from pilots on here. This is a dream job for a lot of people and I hear nothing but complaints. Don’t get me wrong, I understand every job has its negatives and some companies are better than others to work for. But, how about a little perspective here folks? You’re flying jets and getting paid. Maybe it’s not glamorous or exactly where you want to be at the moment...but still one of the coolest jobs out there.…….. If being a regional airline pilot is so bad then leave and find something else that makes you happy. No one is stuck. I appreciate the factual information I get here...but the whining and non-stop badmouthing is terrible.

Do you have Amazon? They sell mirrors really cheap. I’d go buy one if I were you.
Me personally, I’m happy as a clam. Great job. Great pilots to fly with. Happy family.
the fact you think someone is “disgruntled” just because they call you on your BS shows just how entitled and deluded you really are.
the world really does revolve around you doesnt it??
you can have the last word, russy.

DFW base
https://www.dallasnews.com/business/...outputType=amp
Looks like Spirit is ramping up DFW, despite the rumors it is shrinking or closing!
Note: the first time I clicked on the link it let me read the whole article, each subsequent time after it turned into a paywall. 🤷♂️

Alright guys. It's going too far. I don't know you, and you don't know me. I should not have assumed you were all bad pilots to fly with. It's easy to get sucked into the anonymous internet crap and start arguing with people that you don't know. So, for that, I apologize. I am one of the first people to admit how fortunate I am to have caught the current industry wave, and I know many (most?) of you had to put up with a lot more BS than I did to get where you are. I always have and will always respect the experience that you guys have, and admittedly, I have not seen a lot of the things that probably get old over time. I am man enough to admit when I am wrong, and I shouldn't have started crap.

SPIRIT is a fantastic place to work with great people and I have never flown with anybody yet that I would not gladly go fly with again tomorrow
people are going to bust your balls on the Internet because it’s a fun thing to do when you get bored. Truthfully, there’s not anything that anyone here wouldn’t do for you to help you be successful.

you might be the first person on the Internet to come back and try to turn the temperature down. I respect the heck out of that post. If you need anything at all from info or interview information or study tips, shoot me a PM.

I can take ball busting as much as I can give it....and you're right...its fun when I'm bored. I don't want to actually p*ss anyone off or make myself sound like a pr*ck though. I can assume you, I am not.
I have a lot to learn still and value the more experienced guys info and advice on here. When the time comes, I may just take you up on that offer!
Sorry to OP for derailing the thread.
