Indeed, I can see that now. The "volunteer" part was getting rolled into a day off and an additional duty period, for both of the up-front types. It was only sort-of optional.

It was more of a discussion of "the best way home is the airplane you're going to fly, for the most part." (Plainly, compliance with FARs is not optional—the way home required us to receive rest, and we did, and it was glorious.)

Not sure which is more outlandish. What you said here or the fact SouthernJets is going to buy Hawaiian for HND slots.

Ok.

That still doesn't make you right darling.:)

In the military there is a generational difference in how one handles hardships.

Not so in the airlines? Terrific! I look forward to working with these resilient youngsters!

Really? Southernjets must have hired a bunch of super stereotypical millennials then, because I'm not seeing that where I'm at or on other carriers when I've been jumpseat in. I do agree that younger pilots tend to be more comfortable using technology (phones!) to solve a problem, but otherwise it's pretty much the same... Grumble... Sit and wait.

Not a slam on sji as the whole "my legacy is better than yours" thing is really dumb, but from your posts here and in fb it does seem like you've gotten saddled with some real winner new hires recently. Do you think that's an industry trend or a result of hiring practices?

Happiness is a good thing, however your @Cherokee_Cruiser-like addiction to the subject is, well, strangely fascinating and not indicative of happiness.

I got turned down by American back in 1997 and didn't think a thing about it afterwards. No anger, no bitterness, no pithy "OMG! AA isn't the only airline with a hub in DFW!" (at the time).

Find peace. I'd be just as proud of my career and my team if I was working for, I don't know, TWA at the time.

As they used to say, "you go with the first airline that hires you".

No hard feelings over the ones that didn't. You'll be able to jump seat on their metal when you need to.

Hopefully it all works out in the end.

Pretty simple when you think about it.

I generally keep my facebook feed like a photo blog, what in the world did I say about a new hire? Hell, I haven't even suited up for work in almost a month.
 
Assless chaos!

Naw, vacation. Literally the only time I dealt with the airline business is non-reviving and JC that has apparently become "bitch at a SouthernJetsPilot because you are the hub of all that is wrong, unfair and terrible dot com"

If I were to say 'the older pilots I fly with can't use an iPad to pull up the charts and weather' that would be painting a generation in a broad brush, you know making a stereotype, something that should be avoided.

Yet, it was done to millennials, I call it out, and get jumped on. Hypocrisy much?

Yeah I have no idea what he's talking about...But I've been here less than 10 years so I'm still a "new hire"
 
From my observations the 'more experienced' guys tend to be a lot more patient with the company in rerouting etc. Us younger guys are used to almost instantaneous feedback. We grew up with 'instant' messaging for Pete's sake. They mailed letters to communicate.

That being said in today's world with our technology there is zero excuse for stranding crews for hours in crew rooms with no heads up.
