Message: [QUOTE="Marko Ramius, post: 4391, member: 100"] Canyonblue, What is your real point here? This is the same diatribe that SOME Eagle pilots started spewing when the threat of flowback became real. Of course, this particular situation would be new hire, not flowback, but why the thinly veiled commentary? We are all professionals here, regardless of who we worked for previously. All we want is a job, like everybody else-our management has put us all in this boat whether we asked for it or not, so why can't we be semi adult about it. The 591 UAL furloughees and the other major airline furloughees have all left corporate, nationals regionals or the military in the last 1-1 1/2. I'm sure the other airlines furloughee. Most of us have seen some form of this type of training in the past. For me personally, it was at Great Lakes. Just because a company trains to proficiency, does not mean that every pilot who works for those airlines has required extra training, or has forgotten how to fly or work hard. I'm sure some have, but that's nothing special every pilot group has its slackers whether it be a regional, major, or a military unit that's just life. If someone was on here saying, "Hey I'm a big bad major airline pilot, I can fly your little CRJ or J41 in my sleep," your comments would most certainly be warranted. However, I haven't seen any who has said that, and the people I know and talk to don't feel that way either. I don't expect an easy ride, in fact I expect the opposite. We would probably be hazed a little in training, and maybe ostracised in ops, the break room, and the cockpit. I'm sure if I pooch a landing(and you can bet I will, we all do!), that it will take about three seconds before somebody says hey that UAL guy can't fly worth a s**t! I guess the bottom line for me is, I don't feel that your ability and skills are any lesser because of where you fly or what you have done, so please don't assume ours are either. [/QUOTE]
