I have paid my dues and am ready to move on
flyboyzii said:......I have done my time flying around in the middle of the weather. Dealing with a severely underpowered A/C that will not climb at the mere whisper of the word "ice". Shooting approaches to minimums every single day for 3 weeks solid. I feel that I have paid my dues and am ready to move on. I don't feel that I am stepping on anyones toes to go after this job. Yes, it will be a huge paycut for me to do this. But, it would be a paycut at every single Regional out there. Has anyone ever thought that the Regionals are taking away flying from the Majors?? How do you think those guys feel?? They could say that ALL Regionals were/are bringing down the industry as a whole. Is it not taking away THEIR flying?? I have friends that do fly for the Majors and every single one of them told me to go for it!!! So, I am. There is no way anyone is going to make me feel guilty about it either. It's like I tell my current co-workers that are constantly complaining about having to fly (they generally "work" 30 hours a month) "If you don't like how you are being treated...go start your own airline/ 135 company." Maybe when I start my training I will do what I did to my current co-workers and bring a box of pacifiers and start handing them out when I hear all of the crying. It worked for them. They don't whine when I'm around anymore. I would love to make 100k a year. Hell, who wouldn't?? But, I love flying and the way the industry is today is just the way it is. If I don't go for this job, some other guy will. I stood my ground and didn't apply at Skywest and it got me nowhere. I'm not going to make that mistake again. This industry is full of ups and downs. Things are always changing and I feel that this job will enhance my Resume not put a smudge on it. Whew, I feel better now.
If I'm on the hiring panel, I'd call them "passed-over" for another, more morally- and ethically- inclined applicant.jetfo said:What will you guys be calling the pilots that get hired after that date?

Management has avoided an actual negotiation every step of the way on this issue, they made one single offer that was a slap in the face to everyone, and then said, "that's it." It is not our unwillingness to come to an agreement, it is their unwillingness to work with their own employees.
