Winged Sig,

Your ROI, for yourself, is everything and anything that you put into it.

As a newbie Air Line Pilot, and self labled pilot whore, with ~2000TT, waiting for your second set of Apgar results, your antipathy and angst is inappropriate. While your attitude my get yourself a seat at the clown table in the crewroom, you will probably not get invited to sit down with the respected pilot professionals.

So, terms that you might be smart enough to understand: Career expectations and progression: Many of the pilots that you are flying with started thier careers during a time when, in order to get a jet job, had to have, at a min., a turboprop type rating. Lucky for you, you don't have to build piston PIC flying freight in ice and T-Storms, before you can get a turboprop job to get a jet job. However, if you expect to be a jet Capt and move on to a career company, like FDX, UPS, SWA or jB, guess what...so do the rest of us.

It is no longer all about quality flight time. 1000hrs of turbine PIC is the entrance fee and there are plenty of guys standing in line who have already paid. What companies, that have a future to offer, understand is attitude. They know how to identify guys who are trying to hide thier bad attitudes.

FDX, UPS, SWA and jB are very Brand orientated. It is the key to thier success and they will weed out clown pilots who snub the Brand they "serve." Therefore your ROI is fundamentally your attitude. IOW, the rest of us don't really care if your poor attitude gets you a few pink slips, a couple of "thanks but no thanks" interview responses and thus, stops your career progression dead in its tracks. The question is.....do you?

What you should be concentrating your efforts on, is learning how to fly the jet better and figuring out how the system works. This means, in part: stop snubbing your Brand.

Rez O. Hypocrite still hasn't told us what his avatar USED to be. Wasn't it something about flying pigs?

Why don't you fill us in there, oh high and mighty one.
