OK, try this....It's the old Double Standard...

The Gulfstream has and always will remain the benchmark corporate airplane. I don't have to work at NetJets to fly them. I didn't start flying airplanes to sit in a Cessna. I worked and "networked" my way through the various aviation jobs to get where I am today. I'm proud of the fact I made it to the top, and I did it on my own; not with a union filing lawsuits to get me there.

batsky2000 said:You guys still don't have a real fly from home policy!! why is it that the mighty 1108 got a home domicile policy, but for only 30% of the pilots, and not only that, your policy is way too restricted when compared to ours, we can use any airport with airline service, your new policy has a list of rules, why? Heck after reading the rules, my domicile would be a no go, and I have 3 airlines that fly from it with 7 flights to a major airport, but none of the flights would get me into the NY area before noon non-stop, that is a very restrictive rule, I guess the 1108 was not mighty enough?

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