Whats with some of these guys in the corporate world! Are you really a Cheif Pilot if you "manage" a one plane operation that rarely ever flies??? Do you guys just call yourself that because it sounds cooler to the chicks???

"Whats with that?"....:0

well, Im not for gimmicky titles..."Director of Training" for example (the guy who calls FlightSafety and craves to be a manager, but isn't?)...

BUT....if being the "Chief Pilot" bumps you up 20-50K in the salary department? - ya, I'd call myself that. Most salary surveys DO reflect that title change.

keep in mind - an extra 20-50k DOES go further when it comes impressing the chiks....;)

I just think it is rediculous to call yourself something you're not! A Cheif Pilot is in charge of an entire flight department with multiple planes and crews, not just a one plane operation! Let's say I decide to start to call myself Ron Jeremy, does that mean that I'm going to get tons of chicks all of a sudden? Probably not!
