Wrong, You are really some sick dude to make such statements.

I have addressed all of your points in my previous posts.

Actually you are the sick one, and you are the one making all the statements.

But continue to deflect accountability to me, or to others, for your internal struggles.
 
I can't wait to see this yahoo as an aviation inspector.. god help the 25yr old captain he line checks. Talk about a grudge
 
I do have an App in with the FAA.

Hmmm. Are you aware of the wickets that you have to go through to land a GS job? My organization is about 1/2 uniformed, 1/2 GS. Let me give you a bit of advice; take it or leave it.

Your resume is being scored on key words. Take a look at the PD (position description). Make sure that your resume includes all items that they're looking for. And try to pump in as many key words as you can - you'll have to figure out which ones are key words. This is a critical step, otherwise your resume won't even make it past the initial screening process.
Have you spent any time at the FSDO that you want to work at? You need to hang out there and become friends with all of them. Perhaps have them give you pointers on the resume that you've submitted. Like it or not, a lot of GS jobs are through networking. It may very well be that some of the people at your FSDO will decide who to interview and hire.

You're welcome.

And God help anyone with the first name of Andrew who gets a line check from Klako.
 
You had better explain "shame" and "alienate".

Take a step back and look at what you have done...and not just on this board. Yet, the blind will never see. Others who just retired from qx had class. They said "It's been great to work with you all. Now it's time for something else." Put this crap behind you and move on.

Remember, Klako refuses to confront his personal demons....He would rather hide under his 4-stripes and exercise his "Capt authority" until age 90, burying his internalized problems under the cover of work, authority, and rank. I am sure he loves to show his ATP 8000+ hour 48 year old copilot the proper way to pick up a clearance from ATC. "Uh, yeah, I like to keep it brief, you know, the AIM only requires XXXXX"

He even is planning to be an FAA Inspector when he retires. You think if he got some 40,000 a year Cheyenne PIC job at the local airport, 20 hours a month, home every night, on top of his retirement, he would take it? No way. He needs power, influence, and respect.

If Klako was offered "look, you will keep your Capt salary. You will keep your ability to bid trips, etc as a Capt. BUT, you must sit right-seat on all flights past age 60. Hey, we worked this out with the FAA. You are getting a window seat, you are still flying, you are still in the fraternity. What do you say?"

That too would be refused, as "unfair" and not the "sought after result" he was pursuing.

Klako refuses to come back on this thread and instead post on his blog his ramblings about Age 60, as a way to release his demons and struggles, not unlike a "letter to yourself". Not unlike letters to yourself, nobody is really reading his blog either. Klako, if it makes you feel good, hey, keep writing.

He chooses to deflect his own accountability to others, on this thread, and elsewhere, as being the problem.

The problem is not located on this message board, nor with his Congressman, nor with the FAA rulemaking committee, etc.

The problem is in his mirror.

Satpak:
Very nice post! I wonder if guys like Klako realize that they benefited their whole life from the "age 60" rule, and now want it changed to further benefit them. Remember, its all about them!

Let me see if I've got the age 60 thing right.
If you're older, such as I am, then age 60 is just an arbitrary number picked out of thin air and the reason younger pilots want us to retire is that we're in their seat.
If you're younger then it's that older pilots knew the rules when they took the job, rode the gravy train and now want to hijack it to their own private destination. They, the old goats, are universally senile and must be constantly babysat by the talented young eagles whom they constantly terrify.
We then call each other names that would result in one of us receiving a ferocious beating if we were talking face to face.
