Another Southwest question...

[RedBelly]

I support the reserve folks all the way, but I do think your military flight time should count toward the FAA limits.

 

[SWA/FO]

Why would you want to fly more? You will likely be exhausted from your multi-sector, 25-min turn days. The last thing you will want to do is fly another airplane... Go play some golf.

I don't. I think some of the Mil guys don't like it so much either.

 

[vixin]

I agree with SWA/FO also.

 

[flint4xx]

I fly outside with the CP's blessing, in writing. Never been an issue, and I'm not dumb enough to screw up a good deal.

 

[flint4xx]

...but wait until you're off probation.

 

[scoreboard]

I'm with you on this SWA/FO. Outside flying is fine/dandy/expected/no questions asked for the mil folks, but subject/questionable/suspicious/wierd for the civ folks?

.

Because you can't figure out the difference between sacrifice, service to country and greed.

Sure, I know the difference. I know if you quit 19 years into it you don't get your Military retirement. Dats why you go and do the guard thing to fullfill the 20 years. Why would anybody want two jobs? Cus the reward in the end. Reward could mean many things: personal satisfaction, money, title etc...Don't make this a bigger issue then what we were talking about.

If greed didn't factor into any of this, why do you have an airline job? Why not stay in and serve your Country, forever? Why not quit? (cus, you would be crazy too $$$).

Just because I didn't VOLUNTEER for the services doesn't mean, I'm Un-American or don't understand sacrifice. You don't need the SWA/FO patting you on the back, your doing a fine job yourself, besides your hand is in the way.

So get over it,

We were talking about permission to fly outside the Company. :cartman:

So are you saying you really don't want to fly the F-15, they're making you?

About 99% of us would sacrafice our left nuts for some Eagle stick time.

Not everybody serving is fly an airplane you'd go to an airshow to see.

Some of us made the transition to keep the family from unraveling due to ill planned and spiraling overseas commitments made by civilian politicians.

Money has very little to do with it. When you turn down the bonus and the check of the month club, it’s an aggregate financial loss to jump ship after the twelve year point.

Anyone who can't tell the difference between what reservists do and flying someone around in a learjet needs to find a new country to live in.

Anyone who can't tell the difference between what reservists do and flying some dickw@d around in a learjet needs to find a new country to live in.

You seem to be obsessed with d*ck! Not getting enough from your man?
Feel free to leave any time sport! I'll help you move!

 

[Tank68]

Not the Same!!

For you guys who think guys doing the reserve thing is the same as keeping your civlian gig on the side. Can your side job force you to give up your primary job of a couple of years; go fly for less; be away from your family for months at a time and live in a tent in the desert? Two guys in my class in 05 had just come back from extended activations.

It is part of the sacrafice and the guys who do it have my respect. I flew with a lot of guys who were wearing flack vest as part of there "side job". More power to them, I could not do it, but they have my support.

Kind of ironic being this is memorial day, and we are trivializing the service of the military guys in our company. Makes you think huh?
