The only place we differ is that I seem to be the only one who is cognizant of his actions.
I'm positive if you look at your career path thus far, you can find something (a lot of things I'm sure) that you did that had a negative impact on someone else.
Did you pay for your initial training? Ask some legacy capt who was taken by a legacy with just a private pilot license. To him, you are demeaning the industry and undercutting him by paying for it yourself.
You were a flight instructor. Did you work as an employee with health, life, dental, and get paid 50K per year? If not, ask some of the few flight instructors that work at some of the larger foreign schools or even some of the nice FBOs who treat their CFIs right, and see if he feels you undercut him.
I'm sure if we looked at your career past in detail, we could find many more examples.
Paying for your 737 type for southwest, or working for 35K your first year and without health benefits for continental, paying for your initial training, time building, accepting a job for less than SOME other pilot would accept it for (ahem..freight dogging?)....
You and just about everyone else has done this in some way or another. But for some reason, someone elses way of doing it is wrong, and yours is right.
Unless you were trained by a air carrier from 0 to hero, you do not have a leg to stand on. Drawing the line right after where you see yourself as stopping (be that PFT, sitting right seat for free, or whatever) and calling anyone who crosses your line a bad person in the industry, is complete Hippocracy.
Can you not see that? Can you not see that to someone who did it better than you, YOU are the one who is undermining the industry and driving down the career.
I'm not saying I like it, I'm just being a scientist about this. Try and remove yourself from the industry when you look at it. Dont view it through your lens, but as though you were an outsider looking in.
Can you find someone that you have undercut, someone that got his ratings paid for by uncle sam? Someone that was lucky enough to go straight to a GV and skip the phase of working long hours, sleeping split shifts, and making peanuts for all that hard work?
Now can you imagine that he might feel as though you flying for your company, making what you do, working your hours, that perhaps...you have undercut him? That perhaps he feels as though you have pushed down the status quo? He might say that you shouldnt have taken that AMF job, because that position should pay more, or have more benefits, or more qol, or whatever. Your path was lesser than his, in his mind, in reference to the line that he drew.
Yet somehow, people feel as though they can judge, just because someone did a little more than they did, or did it a little differently, while trying to build their career to get to that dream job.
It goes both ways man.
