[Diesel-9]

well said. there are lots of opportunites in life if you have an open mind.

And many will be more lucrative in the long run.

To the old, self righteous senior pilots trying to tell younger guys how it use to be: F Off.

Gas was also under $1, milk was cheap and your dollar went farther.

It's called progression; it has made your lives easier.

Get a life, go hang with your family since you are so wise and get off FI if you don't want to hear it.

....and get out of my captn seat.

Gas was also under $1, milk was cheap and your dollar went farther.

No....not quite...massive furloughs, Arab oil embargo, gas lines, runaway inflation, and mortgage rates of between 11.5% and 15%. And then came Frank Lorenzo. Other than these few minor details, you about nailed it.

Upgrade is not a guarantee nor a right. It is earned. Get you use to the age change it is the Law.

Yeah, and how well did your f-d up generation handle it? I took the time to read Flying the Line. Threats, intimidation, vandalism, unsafe behavior at the controls? Suicides even? I think you're the one leaving out the details. Apart from FI.com, this generation of marginalized pilots has handled adversity far better than yours did.

Huh? Sounds like your limited 7-11 vocabulary has reached it's maximum output. What's wrong? Slurpee machine on the blink again?

Thanks for the ride the other day!

I worked at a Burger King not at a 7-11. Good guess though.

How do your guys loads look like two Germany from IAH or EWR in August? I'm going to visit friends and figured I'd ride fore free.

It was an outrageous racial discrimination event.

Really I didn’t know he was arrested because he was black I thought it was because of disorderly conduct? Police arrive on every scene as though everyone is a suspect. It’s a basic survival technique. I’ve had them do it to me before even though I didn’t do anything wrong. Like I said it’s for their own survival not a race thing and even though it may come off as though they are too aggressive at times I can’t blame them because I would do the same if my life was at stake. If you try to confront their advances you will get arrested no matter what color you are. Deal with it.

That's it...you're blocked

Anyone have the hard numbers for US? I remember hearing that it was around 25-35 a month beginning in 2013, but I don't have the list in front of me to verify.

Do you have the numbers beyond 2027?

 

[weasel_lips]

I'm sure I missed out on some good times, but I've had a much better time accruing seniority at my major that I would have wasted by going to collage.

Collage? hahahahahahahahahahaha.

It's the law get over it.

It's called punctuation. Learn to use it.

Thanks, and actually there are 5275 pilots at US. Not that much of a difference I know, but just trying to keep the facts straight.
