Her spending on overnights is legendary.

Honestly, her skills as a pilot are in question with normal rest, this schedule puts us all at risk of an accident.

I'll light a candle for the FOs that have to babysit her with 6 days off for the month, while she commutes to day trips in Chicago, all the while having to smell her farts and vape exhale in the flight deck. Oh yes, vaping and farts is an added bonus to the experience.


Maybe we can do a "Time to Give" for her. Forget the pilot who is battling a brain tumor, we have to feed her horses and make the payments on her new cars!!!


Hahahah I remember flying with this jagbag on first year talking about how his boat expenses exceeded 4K a month. He was on a JA with two deadheads. He was making ~$5k for the trip I was making ~$350. Good for him and all but shoot the frig up. I mean these a holes can't stop bragging about how much money they make and the schemes they use to make it.

When I was a probationary reserve guy I couldn't help but notice that when meeting the captain I was flying with I often knew how many hours he was getting paid for the trip, his monthly credit hour total to date, his JA tally, and his all-time highest paid month, all before he would even mention his name.

Farting and vaping? Ok, at this point for us that don't know her we need initials at least so we can avoid.

This was so frustrating as a new FO. Yes, we all knew what we were getting into and accepted that fact. But, to sit next to a guy/gal who is bragging about getting paid 45 hours for a 4 day 22.5 hour trip and having scheduling drop a later 4 day with pay protection while I am getting paid straight time with minimum days off was kind of like rubbing rock salt in an open wound.

This was especially prevalent in FLL.

Nomination for the Hall of Fame: FLL captain doing a 4 day out of LAS worth 20 hours, with deadhead time on both ends, all paid at 200%. We are talking well in excess of 50 hours of pay, and he made sure to tell me all about it. During a 3 hour airport appreciation we decide to go to a sit down restaurant for lunch where he proceeds to get into an argument with the waitress over the inadequacy of the 10% employee discount. Mind you, we are talking about a $15.00 burger/fries and soft drink here. And not that I expected anything different, he blurted out "separate checks" before the server even finished the question.

Yeah, I'll never understand how some of these guys (gals) are so out of touch with reality and so f'n cheap. I always buy 1st yr FOs food when we go out. If they want to contribute, I'll ask them to leave the tip.

Ha! Probably the same guy who told me he understands how tough first year is financially and then gives me a dollar to tip the van driver....
