No one said anything about charity either. That's putting words in someone's mouth. He never said he was doing anyone a favor/charity or anything along those lines. All he said was feel free to pm him if you're thinking about going there and split a referral bonus.
You're reading to much into it and letting it offend you.

How is telling you what I said putting words in your mouth??? If you are too angry to read properly, just take a break.

He said he was just "helping fellow pilots". I am saying he is helping himself just as much. Why call it "helping fellow pilots" if you are taking half the money for yourself?? I wonder how motivated he would be with these referrals if he got no money for himself.. Again, just call it what it is.

Is it his fault you're losing Weeks of Vacation and Seniority? Lawrd Jesus people! If you apply and get the job that's great! All the dude is saying is if you want to take more money from the company let me refer you and we will split the extra cash. WTH is wrong with that? Amazing how people read to much into things.
Sounds to me like a AWAC guy trying to help his AWAC buddies out and at the same time stealing a few gold coins from AAG and splitting it evenly.

So he's suppose to refer you and give you all the cash? LOL

Silly billy. I have said multiple times I have no problem with the practice. There is definitely a greed factor involved from both parties. Particularly from someone who "offers" to refer you. But , it is not "helping a fellow pilot". Instead, it is "I get money for pilot referrals and if you let me refer you I'll split the bonus". Both parties are needed. So it is not one helping the other, it is both helping each other to get the money they want.

It is dishonest to portray yourself as reaching back to help a brother in need when your primary motivation is your half of the check....

I'm not angry at all. I don't have a dog in the AWAC fight anymore other than that I hope all goes well with the crew because they are good people.
The only reason for my post was that it seemed there was a misunderstanding.

Lawrd Jesus. Have to crack open the dictionary again for lord Billy.


help
help/
verb
1.
make it easier for (someone) to do something by offering one's services or resources.

When your neighbor helps you rake your leaves. You don't cut them a check for half of minimum wage. You HELP your old coworkers by going to your new companies portal and spending 4 minutes filing out a webform so that making a hard decision can be that much easier. Offering to split the bonus is is not help, it's a business move.

Part of doing business is selling what you've got. It's also about maximizing profits.

If you get so offended by the sell that you don't hop in the deal and make some money, sounds like you're a crappy businessman

You only prove my point. "Business" indeed, not "let me help you, fellow pilot in need". Don't pretend to be a charity when you are running a business. That's all I'm saying
