Expressjet and Women Pilots

[BluDevAv8r]

Neal,


I know this happened days ago, not a year ago when I was in training. I am just trying to find out why, and think about more when almost every captain I have flown with has told me horror stories about them, I think they belong at home, not in the cockpit..............

Surely this is a sick joke? If it is, it is not funny. If its not, one day HR will catch up with you I'm sure. What comes around, goes around...

Commuting up to IND to start Indoc for the 170, met 2 Mesa pilots and being the excited newbie that I was, I asked who they worked for if they liked it..blah blah blah for about 5 mins, conversation was going great until they asked me who I worked for..then their whole attitude changed.

That's an interesting tale, Mesa pilots looking down on a CHQ newhire!

Regional airlines don't care about experience. They just want labor at the lowest cost possible.

If they valued experience, they would have pay rates that accurately reflected one's worth at the 5, 10 and 15 year marks.

Sorry, not in today's market.

Maybe that will happen when we start hiring some better looking guys. I've noticed a dearth in that department....

Don't worry.... my application is on file!

I am not getting in this fight. But a funny thing I notice is one guy will complain about a female pilot, in any capacity and you can guarantee some other guy will post shortly on how he flew with a female and she is the greatest pilot ever, bar none. apparently if you are a female pilot you are either Patty wagstaff, chuck yeager and bob Hoover all rolled into one, or you stink. LOL

 

[Bluto]

No, I think those are the only ones you hear about. The rest of them are just average pilots like most of us.

Everyone is just fighting for a chance to make it...and keep it when they get there!!! Sometimes it is not what you know but who you know and I am finding out this is the hardest business to make it into next to be being a porn star/Rock star....lol

For some it is always tough on the outside looking in and watching everyone pass you by who appear to have an "IN"...but what the fck...

I can tell you some horror stories about some dudes I have flown with......(that got a commuter job with 300 hours TT)

I'm afraid that's becoming commonplace again. What $ucks even more is they will never really appreciate what they have (much like relationships).

HUH?????? Are you a female? I said DUDES (ie. males)

 

[crashpad]

I'm a dude who agrees with you. Shocked?
