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.

 

[gunfyter]

This is America.... if you get cheated You file a lawsuit... as in single carrier....

 

[RTRHD]

Can NJA just make some money so we can all keep our jobs.

Thanks Gun, Me too. ( See isn't it better when we get along )

 

[gunfyter]

From the way everyone is flying I gotta believe a boatload of money is going to be made this year.

 

[Diesel]

would someone ask the G whiz pilots to please fly this year. We have enough work without having to do asaps for G owners.

 

[RTRHD]

"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.

 

[Diesel]

It was said tounge in cheek.

 

[gunfyter]

I hear ya, RTRHD.

We have to work together.

 

[Diesel]

Somebody please get RTRHD out of the Renaissance HPN. He's going stir crazy on outback and the Greek diner's cheese fries.

 

[RTRHD]

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)
