He has no tact! Very poor leader quality.

He probably told every fo he flew with they deserved to be shown the door thinking it wouldn’t pass and when it did pass he was like oh ****! And took the early out.

instead of posting pics of half naked girls and his toys he should have made valid points of voting no.

Why not both? For the rest of your post, I skipped the part with "he probably..." because, well, nevermind. But it's funny you mention "leadership."

I almost feel bad for Mako. It’s hard to feel on top of the world flying the heavies until the day hits when you’re no longer employed. All the glory and pay checks stop, and no one really cares anymore. To pass the time, he posts pictures of ugly women in bikinis and complains about everyone and everything.

Yeah, LOL insurance premiums are eye popping! Pay the premiums to your self.

Figure out a way to have access to about $100k (save it, have a 401k loan ready to go, whatever) that with LTD tax free of $8000/month ($11,000/month in Oct) should cover you for about 2.5-3.0 years.

I speak from to much experience. Being out on LTD really focuses the mind on saving $’s. You would be amazed how much you can save. (I sold my car - I figure who needs two cars when out on LTD?)

If you like outies instead of innies that’s your business and we the American people embrace your diversity. But I’ve flown quite a few “heavies” and I’ve yet to have any glory bestowed upon me for doing so. Have you graduated from Jr. high school yet? I’m thinking no.

Remind us one more time, what “airline” do you work for?

Thanks for the advice. Having $100k ready to go should be no issue. Looking at the LTD for the various companies, it seems like most of us could live a comfortable lifestyle on that alone.

Personal taste, I don't like blondes. I'm not in the industry anymore, Hoss. I did graduate high school, don't worry.

I just don't like people who constantly complain. I know the older guys have been through the worst of it and should be recognized, but at some point, you need to let stuff go. I'm one to hold grudges. I think it's hurt me in my personal life and relationships, even if it feels good. But I'm starting to realize it's not healthy to hold onto all that hate. Guys like Mako should learn to "let go" and they will be happier for it. Believe me.

Uhhhmm,

Last week you were thinking about getting out of the industry, you lived with your parents and were a regional pilot. Now you’re “not in the industry anymore” a wisened old veteran all of a sudden. And I’m not at all worried about you skippy. I’m sure mommy is bringing you mac and cheese and some milk as you read this.
