Who. Who else is saying that? Who here has actually met me and is saying that?

You’re such a keyboard warrior. It’s laughable.

Aren’t you the guy who was at XOJet and also had problems with the CAs there? Now trashing AS’s CRM training. And having problem with some CAs here. And despite saying it’s the worse place ever, you are putting in for the first upgrade so you can be CA “to set your own tone.”

All I’m saying is, I don’t know you, I’m only going by your own post history. You seem to have issues with more than just one company when it came to CAs.

You're like a petulant child. I'm guessing if I was saying I didn't want to upgrade because I made money doing XYZ and I wanted to hold onto the little QOL a pilot gets on year 5 at AS, you be making comments about how I was afraid to upgrade.

You've got a really bad reputation here. I'm not motivated enough to find out who you are but I'm guessing if I asked the captains from VX that I'm friends with you'd probably be a known commodity.

Please argue with someone else. It's sad that people have to share a cockpit with you. I'm not going to give you any more of my time.

It's not just here, he's been a DB since I got in the industry in 2011. Like, I know his real name because he's pissed so many people off. I don't think we're allowed to name drop here but pm me and i'll send it to you.

11 years as FO total. 0 calls to Pro Stans. 0 calls received from Pro Stans. It really isn’t that hard.

I rode on the jumpseat from HNL to LAX on AS and the crew was talking about you. "• Idiot" got thrown out a few times. Either it is that hard or you aren't as smart as you think you are.

Let me guess, I’m rated 0% on Rotten Pilots?

“Worst pilot ever”

I’m old. I’m also a curmudgeon. I’ve updated my apps for United about 4 times since I’ve been hired here. Every time something bad happens: OG Covid, Delta, Omicron, War in Ukraine. Then I don’t follow through. I know I should but I’m old. I’m tired. I’m deeply cynical and bitter about aviation. Most people who suffered through the lost decade are too. They just aren’t honest about it.

Cynically I think I’d make a move and wind up in a worse spot than last time. Furloughed after the Great Garbage Avalanche of 2505. 4 years + of seniority is hard to give up on. I was 125 numbers away from upgrade last time. Maybe I’ll get it on this latest bid. Maybe we will get a good contract. Maybe I’ll find a parking spot in short term parking and the FAs and the captain will be nice again. You get sucked into the comfort of the devil you know. I’m not afraid to admit it. I’m old and I’m tired.

Lastly I just can’t bring myself to walk into some stupid office or hotel ballroom, with my stupid red tie on and gag on someone’s johnson about how much I love XYZ airlines. I’m old. I’ve seen it all. All airlines suck. All charter companies suck. Private flight departments suck. They change like the tides. The United I get hired at might be amazing one day and a complete nightmare after the Great Garbage Avalanche of 2505. I probably couldn’t even say I hope this is the last place I interview with a straight face to some HR lady or an indifferent captain with a poor fitting suit. Deep in my soul I know it all sucks.

I like ‘Laski because: the captains are overall not bad to work for. The legs can be short if you’re willing to fight the elements in SE. I could give zero Fs about flying any particular airframe or going overseas. I got to hand fly a 737 from PSG to WRG. No autopilot or auto throttles. Mixed bag on WX. 9 minute leg. The captain asked that I flew the next leg because I did a good job. My landings are the safest they have ever been. I’ve done multiple missed approaches for windshear and bad turbulence just this winter. I went a whole career without doing that before Laski. I like challenging myself and getting good at things and SE keeps me happy. It’s all better than 91/135.

I’ve also carved out a relatively nice life for myself here in the PNW. I recreate how I want. People leave me alone. Ill never have a boat or an airplane but I’ve got my trusty old car lots of cool bikes and guns. I guess I’m a simple guy.

I probably should leave the sooner the better. But I’m old and tired. Like one captain said to me over and over when I first started flying: “life is hard and then you die.”

Congrats and welcome aboard!

I’m sure you’ve surmised that there are plenty of things here that need fixing, but the training you’ll receive and (most) of the people you’ll fly with aren’t one of them.

Don’t hesitate to ask if you need help or have an issue(s) that arises. Everyone here has each other’s backs and we want everyone to be successful.

See you out on the line!

Being able to set the tone is absolutely one of the best parts about being a captain. You are honestly the first person I’ve ever heard of that doesn’t understand that.

At least a dozen captains that I have flown with over the last two system bids (and enjoyed flying with BTW) have told me that is what prompted them to upgrade. Why they knew they were ready. And why they decided to live with the loss of QOL that came with the decision.

Yep. It’s 100% why I’m doing the same thing.
