GoJet pilot on the radio

Tell that to the captain I flew with a few weeks ago. Even if I was PM, he’d get on the radios and say something snarky or sarcastic. It was embarrassing.

He'll probably be right there, in another ten years. Don't worry! :)

Meh. Is having AIDS better than having Ebola? I mean yeah, but...

Their first year pay is 37. So net pay will be around 2200/monthly.


But hey! At least you get a 50% 401k match up to 4%!!! Woooo! Oh wait, that's just a 2% 401k match. Oh.

For sure. He’s one of those “I don’t want to work Delta anyway” types

"I can't afford the pay cut and I get weekends and holidays off!"

"Sure, sweetie. Whatever helps you sleep at night."
 
Looks like the GoJet pilot will have to be added to the Offender Registry:

Definitely inappropriate, but sadly a common mentality in aviation. We see it on this board sometimes when people who sign up for this forum to ask for advice are accused of trolling for not knowing much about the industry. Or the time I asked for advice on which regional to go to and got few serious answers but plenty suggesting Colgan for "quick upgrades". This was recently, so long after Colgan disappeared.

Pretty dramatic choice that involves him quitting completely.

I replied to your comment because it wasn't positive about the student. It wasn't "hey use this as a teaching example for the student about professionalism and maturity." Inform him many jobs have adults that act this way and don't let it get to you. Brush it off.

Your comment was the student and people in this thread are snowflakes who need thicker skin, because there are people like that everywhere.

Maybe you had good intentions with your comment. It's 2017 though, so wouldn't surprise me if someone read this story and called the student a big baby and blamed him.

Definitely dramatic, but this reminds me of a story my instructor when I was working on my CFI certificate told me. He said that shortly after he began instructing, he was teaching a student to flair properly, and the student wasn't flairing enough and kept floating. So he said "don't be such a wimp" and told him to pitch up more. He meant it light heartedly, but he never did see the student again after that lesson! And this was back in the 1990s, so before the emergence of "SJWs" or "Millennials" or whatever the currently popular PC bogeyman is.

The point is, when people are learning to fly it is an intimidating and unfamiliar environment for them, so if someone in the industry belittles or ridicules them it may negatively impact their motivation to continue...especially considering they are spending quite a bit of their money to go through flight training! So an instructor has the responsibility to set a positive tone for the lesson, and not to communicate in a condescending manner. Of course in this case the ridicule was from a different pilot and not the instructor, but it is a shame that someone in our industry would have that mentality toward student pilots.

Of course life isn't fair, but that's no excuse for making life even worse. I would hope most of us strive to make the industry and the aviation community a better place than we found it. It is sad that the GoJet pilot instead chooses to contribute to the asinine and juvenile behavior that is all too common in our industry.

My mom was a middle school teacher for some years. Any American teacher will tell you that middle school is hell and to avoid, avoid. High school is actually far better. It was for me at least. I went to suburban middle school and high schools. So I was typically the "token" black kid in the crowd. So my bullies, as all bullies do, picked on me because of things one can't change. In my case, darker skin and prominent African features. Namely my full lips and the bundadunk. But I think that I got the last laugh, as now white people want lip injects and get butt implants and tan to get darker skin.

I always enjoy the BS talk I hear when I'm out on the road with the Bo.

Sittin' in the FBO listening to guys talk trash about airline flying is pretty comical sometimes. That usually comes after they push in front of me at the desk because they're "important"....

Hah, pansies, am I right?!

Seriously, not being an ass to other people really isn't that hard. Me and my friends are brutal to each other, it's not that hard to know where the line stops.

We make brutal jokes about @scooter2525 's mother but he knows we're just kidding.

(Hey man, tell Kathy we all said 'whut up gurl?')

Since you linked I'll ask you, could you (or possibly anyone) give me the run down on that website and toiletduck? I'm like 90% certain I know who this toilet duck is in real life. But that website is a mess

Hard for me to tell, because I went to private school in high school and public in middle school. I know that middle school was pure hell, though.
 
High school was the worst.

If someone had made me actually attend the last two years, I'd have probably lost it completely. Community college was rad. Completely different experience, and twice as productive in half the time.
 
What schools did you guys attend? Went to public school all through grade school and high school, and no one really ever bothered me or me bother them. High school was mostly auto shop in the afternoons with all the long haired 80s rocker dudes and the token tomboy female. But no one harassing me or me having to harass them.
