Understand Continental Junior Pilots???

[Crzipilot]

Can someone confirm if this is real or not? I mean really?

I have no idea what that is. Looks like someone's grad school project.

Not that you are with this specific post, but please don't try to project any of your lunatic imperative onto the future UAL pilot group. We don't need it.

He's a clown...he speaks for himself. Standard "Jerry McGuire" mission statement garbage.

A whine couched in a formal document.

[SLUF4]

Well, he moved up the ladder pretty quickly..CFI for 7 months, Eagle not even 2 years-who did he know?

 

[Whine Lover]

1) He is a highly motivated individual

2) " Pennsylvania Freemasons " - If he told you who he knows, he'd have to...

Have to go someone's at the door.

I will summarize for those who do not wish to read the whole document: Pilots hired at CAL 2005 and after are Gen X 'ers meaning they have an inflated sense of entitlement and are impatient for advancement. They are also so young that they cannot relate to more senior pilots. It is terrible, just terrible, that this young group has experienced career stagnancy. CAL should buy out senior pilots and upgrade junior pilots on merit, so that these pilots can have the amazing career trajectory that they need and deserve.

Seriously, thats what it says. I am not making this up.

 

[SLUF4]

I guess he and Tim Martins probably were at Eagle together so they probably know the same folks.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

Spiked hair, ipods and backpacks at Continental!!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all joke about that stuff here, but to put it into some official document to broadly brush a large portion of your pilot group is assinine.

 

[CRJ's suck]

Well, he moved up the ladder pretty quickly..CFI for 7 months, Eagle not even 2 years-who did he know?

Do you mean, who did he blow? I know it wasn't me.

 

[IAHERJ]

He was an intern with Continental and his desire down the road is to work in management. A friend of mine knows him better than I do and this is what was relayed to me. He doesn't represent me(2005 hire) or my thoughts, or the thoughts of most of us hired during this time. He means well but is going at all this the wrong way. This document was a thesis paper for his MBA and he interviewed and met with management pilots in the construction of the document.

Internship at CAL junior year of Riddle.

 

[SLUF4]

well, y'all better shape him up before he gets in management

 

[unclepetey]

He's got nothing else to do. Last time I talked to him he might have kissed a girl by then, I'm not sure if he has ever gotten any stank on his hang low. Smooth like sand paper, perfect for management.

 

[SLUF4]

hahaha; that's funny

 

[Flopgut]

I"m in the middle of the list. From what I've seen, you could not distinguish this guy from a guy like Prater speaking to his early years and "fighting" Lorenzo. The only difference is those who were senior at the time did a tremendous job of taking care of his fat butt. And the economy wasn't quite as bad and his fortunes improved more quickly.

 

[HalinTexas]

His analysis probably isn't that far off, except for his application of Maslow's Hierarchy of Need. Secondly, his conclusion/solutions are way off.

I can summarize it better: If it's a guy: Beer, broads, pay, and days off. If it's a chick: pay, travel, days off, husband. Once the husband is attained you can flip the list and add "kids."

The similarity is "pay" and "days off."

Taking a pay cut to "advance" your career isn't really the problem. It's taking a pay cut to half of what a teacher in that community makes is the problem. And teachers get holidays and summers off with better benefits.

If it was a part-time gig, say 2-3 days per week, I think we'd find something better to do.

Flying is an avocation, not a vocation. You're pretty lucky to make any money at it, and d@mn lucky to have any security.

It would have been much better with pictures, maybe a diorama or some paper mache. I give that term paper a "B-" with a smiley face.
