My fellow "corp" brothers.....let me answer this fine regional aviator!
B-J-J-Fighter,
I'll gladly "carry" the boss's suitcase or briefcase to/from the aircraft. (Even though 90% of the time he won't let me take it from him). I have no problem pouring him a coffee or a drink on a rare occasion that he does not grab it himself. I have no problem leaving later than the proposed departure time because his meeting has ran longer than expected. (It's his plane and his business pays my salary. And he even calls sincerely when he'll be more then 30 minutes late.)
Mean while, I'll collect my six figure pay, sit in nice destinations (except TEB) for several days on the company money, fly new- well maintained equipment, and enjoy my time off.
On the other hand, BJJ, even though you refuse to carry the CEO's briefcase....I'm sure you will have a great career in aviation as a 121 FO. Making 20-25+ the first year to fly a "jet". Staying in a flophouse in NEW with several other pilots. But hey, you are flying a "jet", I'm sure your old CFI buddies are pretty impressed! And if the industry ever gets straightened out, you might have a chance to "fly" one of the big jets for the majors......maybe someday. And if your airline doesn't furlough you or go bankrupt, you might actually make it to the left seat. But hey, you are an "Airline" pilot!
Meanwhile, I'm going down to Miami for the week and I'll gladly "belittle" myself by getting the boss's suitcase off the airplane.
Seriously, though...I think this is where the airlines our F..ing up. We provide a service and you guys just drive the bus.
Best of luck,
