I know bruh, but, whoever made the decision to protect rates ahead of work rules should have been beaten half to death with a tire iron.

I've seen some really high numbers starting to get thrown around at 135 shops recently. But when I ask about schedule and work rules, I usually get blank stares. No thanks.

I wish I flew a plane that had a Flight Engineer. If only because I could turn around and yell at somebody instead of just sideways. Or actually create ambiguity about who farted.

A good pilot, in a two man cockpit, can make the other person think, “wow, was it actually ME who did that?”

I always wanted an FE when I was flying with some super-extrovert who couldn’t shut the hell up all trip. Would have been nice to pull out a magazine and let him bother the other guy.

Pilots didn’t talk to FEs.

But can you work 30/31 days in a month?
Because pilots generally aren’t smart outside of the purview of the cockpit.
Pay rates are basically a penis-measuring contest. Work rules are the DNA that drives a superior contract.

Plus guys will • themselves out for money when given the chance, at the expense of QOL.
Every. Damn. Time.
“You have a whole month off? Are you putting in for green slips” then five minutes later: “the staffing in my category sucks. I can’t get the big game off and we’re under required reserves so I can’t drop any time”

FWIW I think you ran the aux tanks in the all out of the center config. Once you got down to even you went tank to engine.

I am not much of a extrovert but I can't stand people that don't talk. I always get paired with quiet people on long flights and just want to kill myself.I always wanted an FE when I was flying with some super-extrovert who couldn’t shut the hell up all trip.

Knowing I hate that so much is enough reason for me to never scab...

There's a fine balance between knowing when to just mute the mic and chill on day 3/4 and just being a generally boring person to be around. I can be introverted too or just not mesh with certain people.

Its amazing how many people don’t understand the art of conversation and think words have to be flowing at all times.
“Do you have a boat?”
“No.”

I never really had a problem with anyone in the cockpit probably because I could meld myself to their personality. There was one captain that no one wanted to fly with because he was a grouch and ready to retire. I just had to pick up on what interested him and we had a great time flying together. Although, he did chew my ass because I said "Gear, please" instead of "Gear, down".
