A change of subject: as we're finally getting into the winter flying season, I just wanted to say "good luck" to the handful of entitled millenial new hires who think they have it all figured out, and that as soon as they upgrade (mad fast bro), they're going straight to United with 1,000 TPIC.
Some of the attitudes I've seen expressed recently by guys with 50 hours of 121 time make me think they're only an icy runway (or taxiway) away from getting violated at any time. Nah, Capt. I got this 28 knot gusting xwind approach in blowing snow--I'll be fiiiine. If we gotta go around, just remember--I played FlightSim for, like, 60 hours on reserve in Dulles last week brah. And my Dad's got like, tons of money and bench presses a lot. So, respect...chill mane. |

A chum of mine is a new-ish Captain at CPZ, said last week flying with a brand new FO. He was taking all these photos in the clouds. Was totally in awe of being between layers.
The reason why he was so excited is because before that day he had ZERO ACTUAL INSTRUMENT TIME. Nada. 1500+ hours, ATP typed in an E175 and has never flown an airplane in actual. Oh, and BTW this guy will upgrade the minute after he gets 1,000 SIC. Nothing to see here folks, move along. |

People have been told that millenials are lazy and entitled. I'm a millenial (and some define me as a late Gen x), as definied by my year of birth and I can promise you, most of my peers are anything but lazy or hot shots. These same "millenials" are PICs in military aircraft dropping bombs and hauling cargo yet I don't see the military being any less ready to fight a war. We have millenials controlling nuclear weapons, leading 18 year olds into war, getting involved in government and yet none of them are lazy or entitled. It is YOUR job as a Captain to mentor them, to talk to them about the hazards of the things they are doing wrong. If a newly minted Captain slides off a runway, it wasn't because of (insert whatever excuse you'd like), it was because no one took a minute to mentor him. I've flown with Captains who think they run the show and even me asking why they did something, just out of curiosity is met with hostility and a fear that I'm questioning their authority. Get over yourselves. Gen X folk, you're not special and you didn't have it hard. |
