You may have had nice service a nice landing and maybe 10 min early but that is not where it counts. It is when the sh%t hits the fan and when experience comes out to aid in your decision process. When there is not much experience to pull from what kind of decsions could you make?

You don't wanna be a BellBoy with Wings?

why would it be very hard?... i have about 3 more years until i head to NJ. gotta build the time along with the 1000hours PIC tubine. I know that its not required. but its something i want...

FYI...Not to burst your bubble, but it appears that the application window at NJA has officially closed due to the "overwhelming interest" in pilot positions (ie, 500+ resumes received over the past 3 weeks).

Expected hiring next year currently set at 300 pilots.

Concerning Servants

But the only thing worrying me about them is a commute and being a "servant" to Mr. Money Bags.

Soon enough, my brother, you will come to learn that there isn't a flying job in existence today where you aren't a servant - in some way or another - to Mr. Money Bags. A quick glance at your most recent W2 will aid you in coming to this realization.

My masters (if you will) sit in the back of my plane where I have direct control of the service they receive as customers - and 98% of the time they walk away nothing less than 100% satisfied, always willing (and able) to pay more to keep the service they receive.

On the other hand, your master (the ever so popular JO) sits in a top, corner office suite of an Arizona business park devising new ways to squeeze that extra dollar of productivity out of his beaten-down workforce....all in an effort to make himself richer at the cost of his employees.

Big difference.

In any case, I would be willing to match Buffett again Ornstein any day of the week.

As oppossed to some low life scumbag paying a $50 fare and giving you grief?
Go fractional and never look back. The highs will outweigh the lows, I promise!!!
And, you will make contacts for future jobs like no other!
I am going to sound cocky but I think Airlne flying is for suckers! The best flying is found at the FBO not the line snaking around the terminal!

Oh, and for those who are concerned about servicing lavatories, here's a picture I took of one of best tools to do the job right:

Wow. A whole $5? :erm:

If you tip the line guys $20 for doing your lav, they usually don't roll their eyes at you. Food for thought.

And if the NJ guys would let a FJ guy talk, I actually like the airlining. It allows me to be the customer at the beginning of my rotation, to set the stage for the 5 days ahead (and I always wear civvies, just to enjoy being the customer). It's a great way to end the rotation, also.

There's nothing better than crashing out in an MD-80 -- even in the back -- with a shuffle play of mp3's in my ear, on company time. So for those who complain about airlining, it's a matter of perspective. Being Platinum is part of the Fractional industry that I like.
