How to tell if you are flying with someone that has passed 60

[capt. megadeth]

My expectation was an FAR. What was I thinking? What if you woke up and I told you I re-shuffled the seniority list and you were on the bottom? And then I told you to get over it...roll with it?

He'd scream like a b!tch and whine and sue until he got his way, which is just what happened here.....LOL!

You are paranoid aren't you!!!
Do you think this is the only issue you will ever face? Try:
Bankruptcy
Furlough
Recession
Accident
FAR violation
Loss of medical
Termination
Fire
Hijacking
Shootings
The list goes on and on.

I suppose when you get to age 60 you will live up to your principles and retire so those junior may move up a notch.

No Joy so I guess that eliminates most B1900 pilots right?

It's called LIFE.
go ahead and make plans. see how that works out.
Roll with it, adapt, and move on. the whining gets old and bothersome.


No one stole any thing from you. you set your self up with expectations that you though were set in stone. well guess what, stone crumbles.

Make a plan B, c, and D for now. and keep moving forward.

Whaa somebody toke something from me I never had. BLA BLA BLA

Now go get me some coffee.

Fascinating. Thank you for such a great suggestion.

Too bad guys in your generation weren't capable of making a plan B. Then we wouldn't have to change a rule JUST for your sake.

Hey pal, how about if I plan for a rainy day, you do the same?!

No one wants to move "up" a notch so much as they don't want to be moved down a notch. Which is really what has happened here.

Seriously, why don't you go ahead and tell us all what crap you're going to have to pull next. I don't want to gripe, you don't want to hear me, so spill it? What do I have to warn my rep is coming from the old guys next?

Oh, I thought the name of this thread was "How to tell someone you're flying with has passed." Not "....Passed 60." But is there a difference?

try plan q,r and t.
Like I said it is called life.
I built a house in the country. now the county needs money so they approve a development right next to me.
Things change, that all I am saying. thw whining and blaming just gets old. Like a nagging ex wife. you just start to ignore them.

Use your time to think of the positives. surly there have to be some positives. Like all of the guys who will medical out before 65 (unexpected movement)
I didn't expect to be stuck at a company who went bankrupt, or that unions would cave on Backpay making contract negotiation a joke, or that the housing market would tank making my house not worth what I owe.
But hey thats life. I have to deal with it.
and By the way I want to be done with flying for money in 3 years (age 45) so you can have my slot when I am done with it. that is what plan T is. The only one I have some control over.
Face it when you are the employee you do what you are told by those who control your purse strings.

Hey parder, I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce. I'll try being nicer, if you'll try being smarter.
