They can giggle, but one might be surprised just how much.
Also, you’re helping make the point. Grown men with insane salaries talking like they’re in high school and saying Brandon on guard.

Been a rough couple of days since the release of that video of pilots going to United and Delta. I'll cut him some slack.Easy to get a couple G bump in disposable income when you’re living at your father-in-law’s house!

Not worked out or yelling at clouds.
I just chuckle inside when I hear pilots talk and act like high school kids and then act shocked/surprised/mad when they don't treated and paid like doctors.

I chuckle inside that a word like 'dude' triggers someone so pretentious they have the thought patterns as what you just typed out.

Who's living at the FIL house? I'm certainly not. We're all by ourselves in CA.
Meh, I couldn't care less. One of the pilots depicted in that video went from XJT to JetBlue, literally did 9 months at JetBlue, bailed to Alaska, did a short stint, and then bailed to United. Lives in ORD, commuted to SEA. Obviously that is not a good proposition long term. Now at United and I assume ORD based and drives to work. Should have picked a better pilot candidate for this video than a guy who has jumped among 3 major airlines, striving to attain something better for oneself each time.
And here's the cold reality: no matter how good the contract comes at AS (whenever it does come), there will ALWAYS be FOs with < 5 yrs longevity who will bail out to other airlines. Doesn't matter what the pay, scope, or QOL is here. The reality is this place does not and will not have widebodies. This place won't fly to Asia or Europe or South America. This place will be single fleet like Southwest, there won't be variety. And this place will always only have west coast pilot bases. So between west coast-limited pilot bases, lack of widebodies, lack of international, lack of fleet types, there is always an incentive to leave here and go for the big 3.
Why didn't they interview the CA who left for Spirit? Or the guy who left for Allegiant? Because that wouldn't fit the narrative as well.

Ouch, JB to Alaska to United is doing too much...

Pretentious? That's cute.
I understand pilots now after 15th year flying in the airlines. I get why there are so many pilot interview preparation companies. I get why pilots "being themselves" gets them to bust interviews badly. Just about any story I hear, I'm not surprised. As the international pilots here have written, you don't get guard shenanigans like you do in the US. So maybe it's a cultural thing. My assessment is that pilots in this country are spoiled, prima donas who don't realize just how good they have it compared to pilots outside the United States. Their "woe is us" gets old when compared to pilots in literally any country outside the United States.
Of course, I may have gotten more jilted, since I am finding myself on the careful rope of being a CA and having to fly with the unvaxxed and listening to anti-vax FOs and keeping every ounce of energy that wants to say "Just STFU and get the vax!" to "uh huh, yeah, I see. Oh. That sucks. Uh huh. Wow. Hmm. [repeat]"

I might have made it more clear, but I was thinking more of personal interaction and not the larger meetings. There is a clear difference in my aging mind.
Sucks, because it’s saved my bacon from going Nordo once or twice in a desolate sector. And it’s SOP here.

If you do go NORDO for long enough without noticing you'll get an ACARS from dispatch with a new frequency.

I'm not invested in any of...uh. Whatever is going on here. But ya can't turn Guard off where I work, and that SUCKS when putative adults can't find it within themselves to stfu and at least ACT like adults in public. If your idea of being a "fun person" is "annoying others", why not work retail where you belong and your "talents" can be brought to the entire, general public? Why irritate ME, specifically? What did I ever do to you? Other than, I dunno, ok, maybe I suggested that it would be a good idea to learn to read or count without using your fingers.
I mean I think it's all basically the same angry old man stuff as other threads. To wit, our parents, and certainly THEIR parents were serious people. They had serious concerns about serious events and serious subjects. They read serious BOOKS. They not only created jets, split the atom, and landed on the moon, but also worried about the arc of human history and what would become of all of their serious efforts (they also created the models of the universe which even *allow* for the sort of lazy solipsism I'm nerd-raging against here, btw, but nevermind).
And I guess they were right to be worried, because while they created a world in which big, serious ideas of physics, mathematics, and philosophy (for wont of a better word) became legitimately popular, it gives every appearance of having been a flash in the pan. Because, well, you know. Meowing on guard, Kardashians, vaccines are s3Kr1T Poison, and we should all be eternally set against each other because some accident of birth defines our Identity such that the only way to view the entire freaking experience of being alive is as a fragment of some "intersectional identity", rather than as the burning, aware, original, individual, ineluctable intellects that every one of us is. Ahem.
But seriously you should get off my lawn. No joke, no metaphor. The hydrangeas are delicate. Screw off.

That’s a lot of faith in the same people that would ghost me when I asked about weather ahead

If only there was some advanced radio-direction finding technology they could use to triangulate and prosecute said offenders. Perhaps I will invent it. I will call it a “DF Steer.”
