Debt and relationships kill aviation careers. It's about choices. Crappy cars, crappy apartments, and compromised relationships are part of the current equation.
Maybe pencil whipping ones schedule was the wrong context. But adjusting legal deadhead times, and stuff like that, is a normal occurrence. My point to him was stuff like that wasn't just confined to Colgan. It was and sometimes still is going on at other regionals.

I'm picking up what you're putting down. Sad that is still practice. I live with a lot of junior guys in DTW and cannot believe how bad it has gotten. I feel bad for them everyday they are on call.

That's not shell-shocked, that's someone who is still trapped in the dbag company man mindset. I was never once question about anything I ever wrote up, nor did I ever hesitate to do it when something needed to be.
The nuance of no shaker/pusher for a tail stall may have been mentioned, but not covered/discussed in depth. I don't recall hearing it in initial training. Reason being, Bombardier has claimed from day 1 that the Q is not susceptible to a tail stall. I do recall that being told to me when I went through Q training, which was several months before the crash.

Mx records are kept for life and follow the aircraft when it is sold. Pilots have to trust mx and records that all is in order. The pilot typically only sees that previous 7-10 pages of the logbook.

You can live in a crappy apartment and drive a crappy car on $15,800. The fact that you are married does not make this less true.
Some folks are willing to sacrifice more than others. For most of last year I had a regional FO living in the tack room of my barn for free. It had AC, heat, hot water, and a half bath. He joined a 24 gym in town and that's where he showered. This guy did what it took. Oh, he was married.

And you think that's ok? Your post makes my sick to my freaking stomach.

Slow down. No, I don't think it's okay. Is it better than commuting from the west coast, probably.
You might want to see somebody about that stomach.

Would not be so sure on Asiana, I can think of a few scenarios that would make that statement false.
Hey seagull (thread creep)....I'm moving over to the MD11 next month, any words of advice?

Something is seriously wrong with you.
No one in charge of this much life and property is worth that little. No one.

There's McDonald's workers out there making this kind of money... and a LOT of them are out on the streets striking and protesting right now. All they have to do is flip a ********* burger.

What's wrong with me? I think renting a cheap apartment with roommates is better than commuting from the opposite coast. Somebody said that it is impossible to live on $15,800. I wouldn't do it, but plenty of undergrads and grad students do it.
I am not defending airline compensation. I'm not in the housing business and helped somebody out. Other than the limited facilities, my tack room is better than most studio apartments.
Revisit the context. I wouldn't work for $15,800 and I wouldn't commute from the opposite coast for ten times that amount.
