sqwkvfr said:How about this gentlemen?: If you don't want to listen to your FOs complaining about low pay, instead of just telling them to "shut up," why don't you try standing up for them when your union contract becomes amendable? Regional FO pay, despite being negotiated, is horrendously pathetic. I find it ironic that the same Captains who most likely voted for a pay scale that throws FOs under the bus are whining because of the constant complaining from some of these FOs.
Then, after arranging with another pilot to delay a flight so he could “dead-head” home in the early afternoon instead of having to wait for the next flight, he blew up at his wife for failing to appreciate the effort he had made and the stress involved.
Am I the only one who has a problem with this? Delay a flight to make a commute and possibly cause the paying passengers to miss their connection? Professionalism at it's finest.
Yes, you are so far. The "journalist" that wrote that took creative liberty to sensationalize the story, as well as get a bunch of other facts in that piece WRONG.
Think about it sport, that is if you're actually in this job. Who gets to "deadhead" home? Is what you tell people that are not in this industry if you commute? Again, the "journalist" that wrote it screwed up a bunch of things in that article, which is a shame.
Sorry, I missed the "deadhead" reference, only saw the "called a buddy to delay a flight so I could get home". Glad we both agree on how bad the "journalist" can report these things. I've seen crews delay flights to help a buddy, so when these practices get published, I take offense.
As far as being in the industry, if your screen name is accurate, then we probably flew together, or bid the same lines

Hi!
I don't feel sorry for this guy, AT ALL!
He was talking about how his family sacrificed in the past, scrimped to get by, etc.
I understand if you want kids. BUT, you have ONE KID, and then, when you can afford it, you have more. This guy choose to have a bunch of kids, and then he's complaining? If he had two, I'll bet his financial situation would be VASTLY IMPROVED!
The big house, motorcycle, etc., etc. Surprised he wasn't bitching he had to downgrade to a smaller powerboat.
"I just made my bed, but I want to sleep in someone else's, much nicer bed!"
Hope he learned somthing worthwhile!
