I know that most of the line folks that have posted on here are familiar with both sides of field. (Some of us are pilots, too!) And most of us have given some advice as to how to make things run more smoothly for EVERYONE...not just line folks. Surely you can see that much?! No one is really bashing pilots...or else we'd be dogging ourselves as well. This is simply another topic of discussion on JC's. Could possibly even be one of the more "constructive" topics, compared to some.
It does kind of tickle me, to see that pretty much only the guys who have a problem with someone else all of the time feel the need to defend themselves. 90% of the guys/gals that have responded to this thread have done so in a positive manner. I can see why this thread might have originally been opened, but hopefully it has shed some kind of insight for the pilots who haven't done line work. As mentioned before, a lot of us are there as a way to learn about the industry while working on ratings, etc. And when we run across pilots who act like jackasses (don't pretend like this doesn't happen,
), it can deter some folks because they don't want to be around that, or become that. I've seen it. There should be no reason that we can't all have fun doing what we do. In the end, it's the folks that are having a terrible day... and can still flash a smile, that make this industry worth being in. We're supposed to be professionals, right?
