Derg is famous!

I actually suggested he private message me his phone number and I'd be glad to speak with him about his concerns.

Then the server crashed. Oh well.

I'm not mad, it's simply the nature of the internet and assumed anonymity.
Can you tell I've greatly taken offense to his post? I'm livid....
 
I was gonna give detailed directions but I got lazy.... here.

If mods want this to just go away feel free to remove link... that's why I didn't just post it to begin with.

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.

There you go again, gloating at how you make more than all of us presumably regional guys. Wait, I fly 135! @CK, clearly I need a $150,000 raise!
 
Old angry man talk.

Probably just frustrated.

Here I just freed up a widebody seat that's going to be backfilled by someone flying narrowbody, which is going to require a new hire to replace the narrowbody pilot replacing me on the wide body.

Some are unable to see opportunity in that situation, only "someone else has what I don't have" judging by the location of his rant.

Go gloat somewhere else. CAE won't give me an ATP and it's YER FAULT!
 
QX ordered one stinkin' airplane today...1, and it's all @Derg 's fault for being a DL pilot that went to a narrowbody...

Thanks, bro.

People get frustrated sometimes and I think he overlooked the part where I was being self-depracating and admitting that I had "Uptown Problems" and insinuated that I needed to stop being a wuss about it and grasp the opportunity before me.

My difference in philosophy is that yes, I have a great career and I make a very respectable living — but I'm trying to get all of you here with me or help to reach your goals. I wasn't the type, as a regional pilot, that would bitch about what other guys had, I wanted to get a name, shake a hand and try to see if I could get forward.

I gave @scooter2525 a $.10 tour of SouthernJets WHQ today and made sure I traipsed enough areas where I knew people so I could say, "Hey! This is my friend Scooter! he works for XXXX, was on a layover and is really trying to get on with us". I know he'll do the same for the next guy. And it's the right thing to do for your company — find good people.

If I can get enough of you guys doing that, we're going to improve the profession. But if we just sit around bitching on the internet about what someone else has that you don't, it doesn't get you (the royal 'you' of course) anywhere.
