If you still have a doubt, you may want to book mark this page to be viewed 5, 7, 10 yrs from today....

If there ever are any true flow programs, which is debatable, they won't be designed to fill seats at majors. It will be there to fill seats at regionals who supply their cheap feed.

I guess the grass is always greener though right? Maybe one day us regional scum will find out how much harder your job truly is compared to ours.
I'd rather have my military brethren find out how "hard" my job is than regional pilots.

Half of my regional new hire class as well as quite a few of the people I currently fly with at the regionals were former military. A lot of people I went to college with were former non-pilot military who were using their military benefits to pay for flight school. I guess we're all just crappy pilots if we didn't train with you though.

You are so clearly superior to everyone on this board by the looks of every single one of your incredibly arrogant posts yet what I cant figure out is why you lower yourself to post here?

I've been reading your blowhard statements all day, and I've tried to let them slide thinking that you're just one of the 2% that slipped through, but *** is wrong with you? There are good pilots that come from all segments of the industry. Just because you did it one way doesn't mean that everyone has to fall over you and mimic you.

I didn't realize FedEx pilots wore double-breasted jackets (hint: he's posing as a FedEx pilot.)

In reality, the odds that he's an actual FedEx pilot are slim to none.
