Honestly, while I can understand some animosity he may face, and perhaps its due to the "compartmentalization" I mentioned in another thread here, I would happily share a beer with him, and will give that his inputs have either opened my eyes to new perspectives, or made me re-evaluate/reaffirm my own. Not to mention, I cannot personally say I have ever taken offense or personal affront, and my interactions were largely professional or philosophic in nature, and dare I say, generally pleasent....so in that sense, I think he and even CC get a bad rep sometimes. I love new opinions or challenges, and un-animistic dialogue is something I welcome, especially on those long flights...it certainly beats silence.

But I get it :). I am just a bit thick headed I suppose

Oh, I totally meant it in a “ha ha” way, and not nasty at all. I can agree with your sentiments on Todd. I can remember him answering a lot of union questions for me back in the day via pm, without ever having met me (I’m sure he doesn’t even remember). Yeah, he’s opinionated, like we all are. While we don’t always agree, I too have never been offended, or felt the need to get nasty with him.

CC on the other hand………..

In all seriousness, I wish you luck and I hope you get it. While it wasn’t the right place for me, I still have lots of friends there who make a fantastic living and love their job.

Much appreciated :) and thats the plan (for now, who knows maybe I’ll love it at F9, or maybe Ill go sell used dishwashers when the economy collapses). Excited either way and looking forward to the new challenge and chance to always get better at our craft.

Oh plus, I will never have to answer that fun question of "Do you ever want to be a REAL commercial pilot?" >.> biggest plus bar none. Cheers guys, if you see someone in an F9 getup trying (probably) far too hard to hide tattoos, say hello :)

It’s 2022, hopefully no one cares about tattoos showing anymore. No Ragrets

So that means brown and purple aren’t on your list either? LOL!
 
lol, who knows. For now, my focus is on doing as best I can, as much I can at F9. But after that, well see.....:D


But on a serious note, thanks for everyone's advice, encouragement, and wishes here. I know its a dime-a-dozen tale, but it really seems like yesterday when I found this site asking "how do I fly airplanes for a living"....I'm truly lucky to be among such good company. Certainly not the life I imagined id get to live 7 years ago....

7 years to knocking on the door of a major aint bad brother. Enjoy the time at F9, no matter how short it might be. Like you said, you'll learn a lot, and your app will be even stronger to WN next time if they don't give you the job this time. If it makes you feel better, both guys at F9 I know really like it and seem to like the quick QOL they got.
