Don't worry about it. Nothing you said displayed any sense of entitlement or whatever else you were accused of. People that haven't looked into working in the Middle East don't see a difference between a 50 seat RJ and a 70 seat RJ, when in reality it makes a huge difference if you want to work in that part of the world. I can see where some folks would want to give you a hard time, but it's only because they don't know the ins and outs of the EK application process.

If you just want to fly a big RJ for giggles and grins, it would be another story.

Jeesh, you fit the Grumpy Old Men attitude perfectly. Generalizing a generation because of someone's post is pretty ignorant. Every generation has a me-me-me group of people. And if your airline is hiring so many misfits then maybe your recruiters/hiring department need to be fired.
Maybe you haven't had your coffee yet but chill the H** out dude.

First off, you never said anything about flying outside the US. You sounded like some newbie who thinks he knows everything because he has an aero sci degree. There are a lot of you out there. Second bite my ass. I don't know if you're a US citizen, but in my opinion I would never live or work for anyone in the middle east as a US citizen. No matter how much they pay. But if that's for you, then have at it.

I was giving you information based on what you were saying. No one in the US carries about what size RJ you fly, and that upgrade and reserve times are infinite at ASA on the 700, especially in ATL. We are also slated to lose 23 aircraft on the ASA side between this and next year. So you would be stuck at the bottom for years. It would take you years to get a descent amount of time that would help you out with what you are trying to do. So yes, I do know what I'm talking about. I've been here a few years. Take my advice or not, but my advice is to go somewhere else

He actually did mention flying in the ME in the same post as his "cut the mustard" comment.

You are correct. I apologize. Sorry about that dude. I am a jerk lol. But seriously this guy should still go work for someone else if he wants go progress and get some time.

I'm a Gen X'er and i think it's great that people are quitting for not getting the base they want and telling instructors off. Aviation is so insular and there needs to be changes. Think about the FBO's you've been to, where everyone has some sort of exclusive attitude, no customer service, the feeling of the staff doing you a favor by allowing you to pay for flying.

That has transmitted int the airline world. Some of these instructors NEED to be told to F-off! The poor pay and treatment has been absorbed for too long. Maybe pos. space to work or better bases would help retain people. Maybe enough "hell raising" will draw attention to arrogant instructors who CAN"T INSTRUCT! I instructed for 3 years, and a lot of these instructors violate every Fundamental Of Instruction rule there is. In summary: we need push-back.

That was a weak comeback Putzeys. And it IS said with two syllables by our senior pilots from south Georgia. "Ayyy Ceeee". But yes, trot out a joke I made on the pipe 3 years ago because you can't rebut anything else I've said with facts.

Tell me, why is your MEC stalling negotiations? If they have authorization/mandate/consensus to vote in MOU 32, they have no reason to keep stalling negotiations...

Another 3.5 striper in the making for you captn tony

Will someone post the details on both mous.... Please.

Man, you just can't take an inside joke that probably no one other than you and I would get. I even put I little winky face on that post. Can you ever just keep calm?

Anyway, I don't know why you insist on asking me questions about the XJT MEC as if I'm a rep. All I know is that we made it known to them that we are not interested in work rule change MOUs unless there are absolutely no give backs, or it's just overwhelmingly in favor of the pilots, like the CMT LOA. So they unanimously rejected MOU 31. Other than that, they have the blessing to pass any MOU that clarifies existing language or codifies current practice, like MOU 32 does. You know, the things that MOUs are actually meant for? As for negotiations, make up your mind. First you accuse the XJT MEC of stalling when in fact there are at least three very good reasons why they are doing their due diligence. Then you said they changed their minds since now they are meeting with the company in May. But today you say they are stalling. So which is it?
