I am disappointed to see that there is still a never-ending supply of wannabe airline types still hitting the aviation crack pipe. News flash: Flying is a job. Yes, it can be a very rewarding and enjoyable job however if the next generation of pilots doesn’t get it through their brain bags that it is a profession that should be respected even at the lowest levels, then you can’t expect to get paid well at the highest. I.e. If you work for nothing on the way up, those with the purse strings are going to look at each other and wonder why they are paying you anything to fly that 777, because hey, “you love to fly”. Just ask a PFT’r from the 90’s how their career is? I have no sympathy. A pilot shortage is when the majors hire you with a private and 200 hours. That has not happened since the late 60’s. You fukcing idiots out there who work for nothing just so you can get to fly a “heavy” are fools. If someone paid me a decent wage I would fly a 172 around all day long. Money and quality of life is what it is all about. Pilots are own worst enemy. Pilotyip you disgust me.
