You could not have had anyway of know what circumstances I was typing that message out. I know very well that I hit enter after each thought on the message boards, but that is my style. This is no different than my wearing brown shoes all the time and you wearing black shoes. I just get a little tired of people that always have to pick out someone else mistakes and make them aware of it. I am almost certian that most people that can turn the computer on and able to navigate themselves to this website to post are fully aware that their grammer is not perfect. I am not here interviewing for a job, I am not here to impress, at the end of the day I just do not care that much. I am sure there are some spelling mistakes in this post as well, and I am going to take the time and not spell check, I do not want to strip you of your spelling police badge, that just seems unfair to take that away from you.

You very well may have been joking, and its my bad if I took it the wrong way


As for the N numbers being reserved, I know it means nothing, but I did not know that it is such a low cost to get them.

You're right.

It is your bad.

You took it waaaay to seriously.

I was just messing with you.

And at no point did I insult your intelligence, just mentioned the impression your writing gives others. Believe me, I know ability to write has little correlation to actual intelligence. I have an uncle who is a brilliant engineer with a large petro-chemical company with many patents and designs to his name but he spells like a first grader. So no hard feelings.

Several mistakes have been found in the aforementioned post(s) and your poor performance as a grammar officer is being called into question. I will need your badge and dictionary on my desk in the morning pending an investigation.
Dammit Internal Affairs! Bunch of stinking rats! You don't want to help, you want to get the rest of us in trouble so that you can make Lieutenant, you think I don't know what you're all about, Airsupport?

Every time I run into my former co-workers that went to CHQ, 9 out of 10 are kicking themselves because they would be in the left seat already. I was almost one of those guys but I weighed my options and decided to stay because it would be foolish to leave with a years seniority in at the company amongst other things. I'm glad I didn't go.

i am much happier beeing in the right seat here at CHQ looking to upgrade in less than a year, than sitting in the left seat at TRans Mistakes getting junior manned, bending over, and flying with a bunch of.....bitter people, dont get me wrong the pilot group at TSA is phenominal but they do a lot of b******* and moaning. oh yeah and flying with people that have wet temporary commercial certificates would be a blasty as well! Yeah hindsight is 20 20 and i sometimes i wish i would have stayed for the "upgrade" at TSA but i would have upgraded there with less than 2000 total, 1 year of 121 experience, 1 icing season, and 1 thunderstorm season. i am glad i am holding out a little bit!

I have yet to meet one person who thinks that way.

This is known as rationalizing.

I commute for this job, but all that matters is I'll be in the March upgrade class. Upgrade took me 15 mos, and only that long because I never flew because I could drop everything with my seniority, and cared only about QOL. In May I had 24 days off, and I always got DFI.

I'd love it if I was at Skywest seeing that I live in Chicago, but who cares? I'll have my upgrade here, get my PIC time, and gtfo. Regionals are for one thing, and one thing only, and that's to get your 121 experience and multi-turbine time. It's just the step after being a CFI to get your total time anyway.

Also, I don't understand why everyone likes to continuously bash TSA by saying that we're the only airline that hires with wet commercials. Mesa does it, I believe comair does it, and so does Eagle.

Agree 100%

Hopefully, I'll upgrade close to the year mark as well since I already have the time.

I'm not going to bash your motives or inspirations, I agree, in the beginning, regionals were never meant to be a career.. some people have decided to make them a career, but those are their personal choices based on what they want out of life (i.e. flying a Brasilia your whole career just so you can be based in San Diego and go surfing every day).

But in light of the recent events, age 65 and industry consolidation (which is apparently on our doorstep), arent you a least a little concerned that you might be stuck at the crappy regional job for longer than you might have anticipated? yeah, you'll have upgraded in 15 months, but if you're still stuck at TSA after 7 or 8 years (like a lot the captains I flew with when I was there) are you still gonna be happy with your QOL? Commuting to fly for Hulas doesnt keep a lot of people happy. We're all on the same page, I wouldve been a captain for Hulas long ago, but I know I'm happier at Skywest and not commuting anymore, left seat or not.. and I dont think I'm rationalizing.. Just wondering if your concerned about something like that.. what happens if you can't just "gtfo" as you so eloquently put it..
