Derg is famous!

Don't be mad.

It's not the first time.

I'm just amused if the IRS ever says "I read online, so you know it's true, that you make 10x more than a regional pilot? It's not what your 1040 said in 2013. Audit time!" I should have bought me a Cadillac.

You always seemed like a Brougham type of guy. :)
 
The OP that started that train wreck of a thread is a retired pilot who obviously has nothing better to do. He posts a lot about Piedmont and asks a bunch of questions(mostly Atlas) for his niece and nephew who are both regional pilots.

He also seems to be pushing the sickout.

Yeah understand.

I just wish grievance chairs from every airline would sit down with airline pilots at classes at talk to them about the reality of their situations. You're not a doctor, you're not special, go to work, pretend like you enjoy it. If you want action go through the process. If you want the process changed, donate to the PAC and get some people in to US elected seats who will abolish this stupid process. The sooner pilots can start thinking like plumbers/electricians/uaw shop workers, the better all your lives get.

Since that won't happen, learn you contract, fill out grievances and VOLUNTEER and be a gofer/paralegal for the grievance guys. Mesaba's contract wasn't built overnight, it takes intelligent people who can read a contract and fill out pilot issue forms. Of course, besides the basic foundation of literacy and curiosity, it's pointless if you're unprofessional. Instead a lot of pilots feel like they should yell at the front line employee, or get their rep to yell for them, or do nothing except gripe about it in crew rooms.

Pretty much.

Of course, I'm one of them dirty non-union guys, but I've found (at 2 out of 2 airlines, one union, one otherwise) that even in the absence of a contract, if you treat others like you like to be treated (particularly crew scheduling), show up and do your job within the definition of your contract or policy manual and make every effort to hold up "your end," as it were, you'll have a much nicer time. Somewhere between "burn it down" and "gosh I love this company" is a happy medium of "Yep, that's not nice" coupled with "Yep, life is still pretty darned good—I could be digging ditches [ hauling boxes, hauling rubber dog crap out of Hong Kong, ...]."

I'm not saying call something sunshine and rainbows if it isn't; anyone who has worked with me or otherwise socialized with me knows that a poo sandwich will, in fact, be called a poo sandwich, but the job is the job, and you've got to do it. Moreover, do it professionally and with care.

If you want to lock a thread on APC in no time at all. Post I have a ATP now, which Regional I should go to. Gojet, Mesa, or PSA? Then sit back and watch.

Oh, man! Somebody please do this right now.
 
@Derg I didn't think you were flaunting anything, but regardless you have paid your dues. You have helped thousands of us in this crazy industry. You forever have my respect and my ear.

What a disgruntled knucklehead.
