SJS strikes again...

[mcjohn]

it puts a bad rep on the ones who actually do care about the industry and not some stupid fancy jet.

Oh how I love the Freudian slips. STUPID fancy jet huh?

As pilots continue to learn of the importance of jet time and especially of jet PIC on the resume in today's market you'll have an endless past time lashing out on those pilots who may move ahead quicker than you.

Hey, at least she'll be able to get a "wow" out of her friends. I tell people I fly a cargo turboprop, and I get the feeling they're imagining an old DC3 with chickens in the back. To the rest of the world "turbo" is just a buzz word if you still have props on it.

Then again, who flys for prestige anyway?

 

[QuasarZ]

wow tough crowd... Granted, the opportunity is there so why not? I agree, but it was the way she said it, I guess you had to be there.
Oh well, nevermind

Q: What do Delta, Continental, Fedex, Southwest, jet Blue, Air Tran, United, Allegiant, Gemini, North American, Frontier, Midwest all have in common.

A: They all hire TP captains.

Mesaba is such a good place to work! Furloughs, concessions, bankrupt, owned by NWA... WHAT DOES PAUL FOLEY DO?

I don't blame her not wanting to fly that bug smasher.
Have fun sweatin' it up ALL day long. I'd get heat stroke every day in that thing.

No more furlougs and we are doubling + in size over the next couple years.

Growth will offset the concessions.

XJ is no longer in bankruptcy.

Owned by NWA....yeah...the flow thru really sucks and life was so much better when MAIR owned us.

What does Paul Foley do? Who cares as he has nothing to do with XJ anymore.

You clearly have no clue what your talking about so go do some homework. The gal in question lives in MSP so I suppose you would advise her that her life wiill be so much better if she commutes for Eagle or CoEx or SkyWay, ect. ect.

Obviously you didn't understand a thing I said... The intelligence level here amazes me.

 

[Sawmill]

But is she hot?!? Oh, and what siucavflight said.

 

[capt. megadeth]

Who is at fault here? The 500 hour pilot that takes a job that was created by mainline pilots giving away more and more flying each time or the mainline pilots? This is NOT her fault, is ours

True dat. True dat!

I do have to give all you guys credit though.....
2 pages and no stupid female pilot comments.
I knew you guys could do it! Congrats!

 

[dojetdriver]

Yeah, well, I want a million dollars.

I want a Corvette Z06.

I want, I want, I want......fukin people!

You are at UPS, I thought you all had a million dollars and a vette in every color.

 

[Mesabi Miner]

This about that

My $.02 on that... The way I see it, eventually I'm going to be trained on a pure jet and will likely fly a jet for the rest of my career after that. For me, the opportunity to fly a large turboprop just adds to my aviation repertoire. I'm thankful for the experience and look forward to my next type rating.

I think people were put off by the subject's perceived attitude. If her statement indicated a "holier than thou" - type attitude, it's probably better she doesn't come to XJ as that may indicate other undesireable traits that we don't need on the seniority list. However, if her statement was simply the declaration of her preference with no "attitude", then more power to her.

Nah! I drive a beater....but it's paid off Someday I'll have my Vette though....probably when I can pay cash for it.

Holy shiite! Someone that gets it! That was always my thought.....that I will probably fly a jet for a long time....why not enjoy the time flying a turboprop. Flying the Saab and Jetstream was so much fun. I loved it!

 

[JPAustin]

It doesn't matter what aircraft you fly at what regional -- in every case the APU is MEL'd, there aren't enough air carts, and catering is always late.

 

[instructordude]

Who cares if she wants to fly a jet? As long as she doesn't go to some alter-ego pseudo-SCAB airline like GoJet, then what does it matter? You wanna fly Saabs? Go to Colgan or Mesaba. Wanna fly Jets? Go to PCL, CMR, CHQ, or any of the other countless RJ operators out there. She'll be cured of the SJS within months of stepping foot on PCL property, I can assure you of that.

Don't forget that quality organization called Gulfstream. No doubt the most disgusting job ever.

Gulfstream is a dream job compared to that SCAB airline you work for called HoJet.
