You can blame all of this on the Regional Jet.

No, I think you can blame it on PFT jerks who will pay even more money to go fly in a big King Air with things hanging off it! Oh, I forgot, they get to put on uniforms and act like they are pilots. Purchase Pilot Wings!

Actually that has nothing to do with the reason Riddle is so expensive. Are you sure of what you are saying? Because you obviously have no idea what PFT is. Nor, do you know any people from my airline because 99% of them aren't "jerks".

If you are going to direct something to me, say it to my face. I will be glad to meet you when you fly in. If you can make an statement such as that, then say it behind your true identity.

Grow up!

Is that all you can say after your post? Take a look at yourself, brotha.

You mean after you got hammered in your post about Girl Scout cookies you still don't get it? When I see myself, I can say I worked my tail off to be where I am. I will fly my 300 hrs this year, bring in my 6 figures and know that I never had to pay to play Pro Pilot Wannabe! And, BTW On other avaition websites, there are many people there who know who I am. You can even see where I live! But wait, there are professional pilots over there in every sense of the word! I don't think you would do well "over there!"

Yeah, ok. And you are telling me to grow up? Sounds like you have some personal issues.

BTW I have lost bigger arguments that the one you mentioned. Or, did you just want to say Girl Scout because it makes you think of 9 year olds? Take that to "grown up land".

Don't know where you got personal issues out of that one. Professional Pilots do not pay an "airline" to sit in the seat. They are paid by said airline. Looks like there are some bottom feeder "airlines" where you can go make 17k/yr and pay off that massive loan you have to pull the gear and talk on the radio.

You angry about something there buddy?

Professional pilots shouldn't be judging anyone on any level of professionalism. You know nothing about me. You have no right to assume anything about me or my career. Nor do you have the right to assume about anyone at my airline. Move along.

I go to an extended-campus location and fly at a local flight school.....Do I at least get a pass?

 

[look4traffic]

I will say that the GIA pilots I have met were for the most part humble and just trying to make it as pilots just like the rest of us... (not that I agree with the program) but I don't think they as a whole should be called jerks...ignorant maybe or maybe just rich

90% of our pilots took out loans or are prior military.

the bottom line is....

So long as pilots are willing to line-up at the door for poverty level income and/or pay an employer to work then we'll all be seen as commodities instead of professionals. Why take on the responsibilities and duties of a professional while being paid as a commodity? At the majors level you see less of this. That's why pilots continue to live with it and accept it as just part of the path to a six-digit career. There's no guarantee folks.

Flight training, cost of living, and intrest rates aren't getting any cheaper yet regional-level pay, overall, isn't changing. The only people that can change that are the ones reading this post.

thoughts?
