Thanks for making my point.i never said people don't try hard enough and i certainly don't consider myself lucky. i sepnt 3 years as a cfi makeing nothing, i flew jumpers for 5 bucks a load and the first regional i worked for paid 14,000 a year. so don't tell me im arogant. it took 13 uears to get to where i am at and it is only because i knew what i wanted. i knew i needed pic jet when i was at pdt and all the rgionals were getting rj's, i was just smart enough not by a car, house, boat etc and shack up with a FA while at a regional. I am no diff. then anybody here. evrybody complains about low pay crappy working conditions etc. at the regionals, the regionals are there for one thing and one thing only to give you experiance to move on. when i was at pdt we tried to fight, i picked up no ot, did nothing extra and it still didn't help so i realized what role the regional airline plays and just delat with it. Its not that hard trust me. everyone i started with got a job ata major, legacy, whatever you wan't to call it. If you wan't it baddly it will happen. if you complain about it you will get noware nothing.
Your intentions may be as noble as you say, but your delivery comes across EXCESSIVELY conceited for the THOUSANDS of pilots who have been busting their a*s for DECADES and still haven't gotten where you are.
I could care less about being in your shoes; I've been here a year and love it. Providing our contract comes up with the requisite $$$, I have no intentions of going anywhere else.
But if you really think it's your skill and determination that have gotten you this far with absolutely NO luck or help from contacts/references, then you really are hopelessly out of touch with reality.
