Every Citation Shares pilot I've run into in FBOs has been a class act. That means I have never run into Humpmywetfart.

Well if, flying a Falcon 2000, having four (21 day) vacations a year, for at or better than industry average salary/benefits, for a profitable company, constitutes a "sucky QOL" then I guess I should feel sorry for myself...... Somehow, I don't.

Bogart, you can bite me.

You should still feel sorry for yourself. Remember, you are a highly trained professional pilot. You work long days and are gone from your family for endless days. You/we will never be compensated fairly. We need to always fight for more.

I voted "no" and I'll bet anything you voted "yes". Does that tell you anything?

I still will never feel sorry for myself. If I wasn't happy with my employment, I would not still be here.

My advice was going to be take the first class available, but looks like you already did. Congrats and welcome!

Which airplane has the least training backlog i.e. the quickest to the line?

 

[Ultra Grump]

Why would you want that? Don't like getting paid to sit at home?

 

[Freight Dog]

OT baby!

All joking aside... I'm just curious how long have people been waiting to get their training done in various fleets.

 

[Ultra Grump]

OT? How's this: show at home Day 1, 0400 local. That's 4 hrs OT (while sleeping, no less). On standby at home until 1600 local, then shutdown. Another 3 hrs OT. Then at least one day per tour where they forget to shut you down at 14 hrs. You call in at 14:30 to remind them, 2.5 hrs OT. 9.5 hrs OT per tour (while chilling at home, getting "honey-dos" done, etc), repeat until company gets their act together and gets you through training. Oh, and don't forget those holidays you'll be sitting at home as well.

Cha-ching!!

Dunno about fleet wait times - heard the X and XL are pretty backed up.

So, I finally get to chat with God's gift to aviation. Still don't have it as good as we do at CS. Why don't you just bite me? It hurts to be second best, doesn't it, Kid?
BTW, do you still have to swap schedules on the weekend? Kinda sux not ever having a weekend off, doesn't it?
