In my time in aviation ive noticed a few things.The friendships you make are the best part of this industry. The people who get ahead are the ass kissers who suck up and get the upgrades ahead of everyone else. Ive seen a few that have quit a job,couldnt handle it where they went,came back and had the world offered to them. The people who know how to play the game and manipulate the boss race up the ladder. Those are the ivy leaguers who havnt had to load barrells on the ramp.
Hard work attitude doesnt matter,some of the laziest people ive ever met are at the airlines. Loyalty isnt important because i have yet to find a company that thinks your nothing more than a replaceable body in the drivers seat and very few pay enough to count anyway.One of the biggest things is if your a white male and english you have a couple strokes against you already.Thats my perceptions after 10 years in the biz.

EMPTY BARRELS MAKE THE MOST NOISE
I,m hearing a lotta noise
I,ve been driving airplanes for 35 years and I gotta tell you I,m quite happy cruising along at 500 ft behind a 985 rumbling along like a bulldog lappin up milk over a crystal clear emerald ocean watching the whales breach. I guess if I wanted to be a button up boy I could of gone that route. If I want to sit in front of a bunch CRT,S wearing a goofy hat and scarf I suppose I could go work in some office somewhere.
Funny I can,t count the airline guys that I,ve taken up with me and they seem to be of the same mind. I kept hearing them say "Gee, I wish I had your job this is real flying". Or," the best flyin I ever did was when I flew floats". " Now this is flying without the B.S, whineing and sniviling, and pressure we have to deal with".
One thing for sure is if your on top of a shitpile the fumes drift up.

Funny KAG, I was actually thinking the same thing. This industry is all about the friends you make, and they are of course "who you know" which can make all the difference getting the next big break.KAG wrote:Funny as hell, alot of valid points except not making friends....it's all about the guys/gals I've worked with that have made my past jobs such great experiences.
Unfortunately he's also right about the backstabbing ass lickers!
