Airline Pilots, What A Happy Bunch!

Most pilots come to an airline so excited about their future. They now get to fly a big aircraft in a fun environment. The excitement for a new pilot at the airlines is amazing.

Now fast forward a few years. The pilot now doesn't have many positive things to say. Airline management has now disappointed him few times for their own gain. The pilot may of even had to take a paycut or two. The pilot may not of upgraded when he thought because of the economy going downhill or management not doing their job. Flying in the airlines now has become a job.

The pilot gets married and now they realize that the pay is not keeping up with what they need to make to support their family. But management doesn't realize this, heck they even expect you to take a pay cut.

Even if the pilot has worked hard to build the PIC time and keep a clean record he will still find others getting hired at the airlines he wants go to because they had connections.

It is amazing how negative senior pilots at the majors are. They have taken so many paycuts and put up with management that can't run an airline that they don't have a lot good to say.
