Help-Skywest or In and Out Burger

[pipejockey]

Dude, there is a reason people get into this business, and it really isn't about the pay any longer. If money is your goal, you are barking up the wrong tree.

Ahhh, somebody doing this for the LOVE of the job and not to earn a cotton pickin living. Excuse those of us who would actually like to receive appropriate compensation for the responsibility we undertake each day we come to work. Not to mention all the hoops we have to continually jump through to keep this job. Your attitude does us an injustice. Just because you are happy to be paid similarly to an uneducated laborer type, doesn't mean the rest of us do.

Please cut this rational crap, pipejockey. Walking around terminal B with a hat on and sweet uniforms with stripes more than makes up for any substandard wages and quality of life sacrafices we make. And microphones, we get to talk into microphones!!!

You'd probably get laid more at Skywest, but then again it's innout.

hmmm, coming home smelling like a grease trap or coming home smelling like Fruit Punch?

He could work as an office puke at SKYW in the OCC here in SGU during the day, and work the glorious fry-cutter at the brand-spankin'-new In-N-Out at night. Its a win-win.

Have you considered changing careers and going to work at someplace like Abercrombie & Fitch or Express. They encourage you to spike your hair there and think of all the ladies that shop in those places.

You better hope that In-N-Out has a union other wise you're a F'n SCAB!!!!

I thought that if he went to Go[at]Burger that he would be a scab - doing the same job for substandard pay. But not a true scab since at GoatBurger there is no strike.

Can you accrue seniority at the in and out; can u get free food at Whataburger as a professional courtesy?

My favorite response I've heard to all the complaining: If you think the grass is greener on the other side by all means jump.

If you have doubt, check this out- I thought it was a prank at first, but have since decided these idiots actually think they are cool......

Mmmm...Whataburger. I think you just made the decision of whether or not to go home to Texas for a couple of days for me.

 

[dispatchguy]

Yeah

There or Jack in the Box (jack in the crack)

I do miss the Monster Tacos!

I don't know...I think the food at In N Out is better....seriously, a career in aviation is much better than one in the food industry. Money might be the same for a few years, but aviation eventually pays off. In any case, you can always go back to In N Out.

And after reading all the other posts, I come to the conclusion that not many flying in the regionals really know what its like to have to get up every morning and do a job you much rather not be doing. I remember the days when I was making more money delivering candy to vending machines and every time I saw even a freight dog flying overhead I missed flying. So you have to spend the night in Fargo or Fresno...so its cold outside...so its hot outside... you have to ride in a van to an hotel you don't pay for...so you have to wear a uniform...a hat...go through TSA...Waaaahh. The other option is to keep asking people if they want fries with that...do you want to super-size it or if they want to work part-time of full-time. And by the way, if you are going to spend the money, go to a cheaper school. Riddle is not what it used to be and the doors don't open automatically like they used to any more. If SkyWest doesn't pan out, there are a multitude of other options. I was blessed and finally got the job I wanted. I make as much as a 4 year Captain with the option of making more if I want to work more, and I work 7 days on, 7 days off. Or you can fly charter or whatever you want. But at least you will have options. Don't let any of these other folks discourage you from doing it.

I swear....the number of people in the industry that have to idea what it's like to have 3 bosses over your shoulder...daily reports...phone calls at home asking for more work...office politics..etc..drives me crazy.

"Eight, Bob. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired."

This thread really has me craving a Double-Double with grilled onions.

And if any of you think this thread is legitimate, well, I've got some land in S.W. Florida for sale...

Stick with the burgers. The chicks with paper hats and huge safety pins are much hotter than the FAs at Skywest.

Well, would you rather be flipping burgers or flying airplanes?
