I don't like the concept networking for jobs through the good ole boy network.

Then you have a lot to learn about the corporate aviation world buddy.

Ever seen MBNA advertise for Falcon 900 pilots in the "Help Wanted" ads?

Didn't think so.

I have a friend from the Marines there. Last I knew he was on the 2000.

I probably have a lot to learn... no doubt. You did a good job and should be proud. I am just objecting to the concept that you did it all on your own.

Also you have to realize, if the single carrier were settled today... and totally in favor of the Union. I will NEVER get a seat in a G-IV. There will never be enough seats to get down the list to me. Its not about a Seat grab like a lot of people like to say on this board.

I didn’t go to any college, I went to a well established division IA school. I didn’t graduate with a 2.5 GPA, I graduated with a 3.4 GPA, Cum Laude. I didn’t set out flying airplanes to drive a Lear Jet, an Ultra or an RJ and make 70k a year. I set out to make it to the top, to fly Gulfstreams throughout the world. And that’s exactly what I do. Now if that makes you mad, or jealous, or whatever… tuff. Its America people, you have to work, and network to make it to the top. And for those who don’t have the skills to accomplish this feat, there’s always the union; they’re more than happy to speak for you.

Woolfy, I am so proud of you!!! Thats just GREAT!!!! I am sure that many others have done just the same as you have....but nobody else here sees the need to advertise it as heavily as you do. I just dont see the need to brag about where I went to school, what my grades were in school or that I am some elite professional flying an airplane around the world. Perhaps you should go on the Doctor Phil show or Oprah and tell everyone about what a success story you are. Talk to me after you have flown the space shuttle, but until then, just keep your success stories and how great your grades were for yourself. Brag about it to someone who cares.

You know folks, many of you didn’t hear me correctly. There is a natural pecking order in life. Both in the animal kingdom, and the corporate world we live in. Life is full of natural and man made discriminators which limit our abilities to obtain certain positions in life. I would have loved to play football in the NFL. It was never meant to be because I cant run fast enough. So should I sue the NFL for discrimination?

Why should I lower myself to lesser standards just to be part of the crowd? For every one of you that sits here and tells me I’m arrogant, I’ll tell you your dragging the profession down by not holding yourself to the standards that were set by the men who came before us.

I’ve been around Fortune 100 pilots my entire life, as I come from a family of pilots. Pilots are not unlike any other group of professionals in the corporate world. You have your 1st string players right down the line to the bottom of the barrel leftovers. Where you decide to plop down and call home is a decision you make for yourself.

It amuses me that you actually think you had everything to do with this outcome! It looks to me that you have had a tremendous amount of luck and being in the right place at the right time. Oh, by the way, I fly for NJA and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.9 GPA since that is important to you. :rolleyes:
 
would someone ask the G whiz pilots to please fly this year. We have enough work without having to do asaps for G owners. :)
 
"O" Yea Diesel we have never done an XL or a X trip. I say tounge in cheek as I lay in waiting in my hotel. (LOL) Nothing to do but torment you. The truth is I met so many of you lately that I see your side also. But I want this gig not to go the way of the airlines.

Somebody please get RTRHD out of the Renaissance HPN. He's going stir crazy on outback and the Greek diner's cheese fries.
 
This websight in messing up again. I keep trying to post and its going on a previous page. NJW, do you even have a horse in this race? You have been minding everyone else business for a while now. Why don’t you just BUTT out here? (I say politely)
 
KBGR- Didn't even know her.
 
All I will say is, welcome to NJI! I look forward to flying with the NJA guys and girls, and bet y'all will have a great time over here! However, you will find that the biggest reason work is so pleasant at NJI is because we are a non-union shop. Which my charming but typing-challenged wife indicated a few posts ago! In her inimitably diplomatic fashion!:-) I should get her to register as G4dudess, ya think?

I should probably clarify my statement somewhat. Of course I’ve had a great deal of help from friends and acquaintances along the way. The “doing it alone” portion of my career success deals with the bullet points of ones resume, things like your education, GPA, physical appearance, usage of the English language, etc. These are the things that only you can control. While someone can help you get to the dance contest, its up to you to impress the judges.

As I continue my walk through life I realize the success stories of my generation are those people who have a firm understanding of the socioeconomic effects of their environment and capitalize on their personal strengths instead of relying on a system of governance or oversight to insure their success.

And because I see life as a cycle or a perhaps a circle; I intend to help people who follow my footsteps. Because without the help of those in front of me, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

I have a whole string of horses running in this race. My family has a substantial investment in the outcome. Here's our starting lineup.

Husband's Career---a solid winner

Believes in Fairness---feisty at times, but has a lot of heart

Neighborly Concern--likes to run with the pack

Raising the Bar--always a crowd pleaser

General Interest---new but catching on quick
 
Yeah where the van takes a left to go under that mall covering right before you take a right up the hill to the hotel.

Anyways it's across the street where the van takes a left. Right next to the lexus or mercedes dealership. It's a greek joint with good cheese fries.

Not as good as the irish joint behind the hotel.
 
NJW,
Heaven forbid that I quote Wolfpack but on this one he is right. NJA/NJI/EJM/NJE....nothing more than a fancy code-share agreement. Doesn't mean they are a single carrier.

By the way, just flew with a guy with lots of 121 union leadership experience and the point he made is that single-carrier can only apply to scheduled carriers. Don't know if that's accurate but it sure throws another log on the fire.....

Woolfy, you have come a long way from that your post whereby you told how great you were and that you are top dog flying that gwhiz jet.....as in REALLY toned your success story down. I am impressed.

Ahhhh Wolfpack has a lot of good posts. Pretty fair guy if you ask me.

Perhaps so, but that elite professional and the magna cum laude thing was a bit much. He's toned er down, so I'll give him that.
