Title says it all. I've worked in the civilian world a couple years, then got bored and went to fly jets. It is awesome leading dudes into war. Cant get into all of it, but things were very tense until Trump got elected then things got immediately better. Less risk of being shot down by surface to air missiles and the daily encounters with other adversary jets decreased.
Came back and things were good. Then in the last few years the little "fighter" culture that we had left was taken from us. "No more songs.... your callsign is offensive change it.... your squadron bar has to be designated as a heritage room with only certain people having access to it.... no offensive jokes... no offending anyone for any reason.... if a person files a complaint for being harrased for putting his hat on the bar, then the offender is removed and presumed guilty"
We have a stressful and fast paced job, it's not for everyone, everyone has known bros that died. Personally, depending on the mission or training I have a near death experience about every other week. Same with everyone else at my work. We are more like a football team than an office. We do dangerous stuff and are highly skilled. It is very fun and exciting, so why the pilot shortage????
Because we can make more money being a buss driver for the airlines, and the political bullshit isn't worth making 1/3 of what you get on the outside..... we are gone probably half the year with TDYs and when home, we are the only people on base working 12 to 14 hr days. (Besides Maintenance, those dudes are overworked like crazy) then we cant even get finance to help us because they work 930 to 1530 with an hour lunch break. Same with Comm, and CE the building has been leaking for the last 8 months but "sorry, not on our list yet".... dudes have timers on their computers to see exactly how many hours we waste per day just waiting on the gov web page to open.....
Government ruins everything it touches. With how retarted the government is getting, I see no end to the PC bullshit. Only an increase, and even more cultural training stuff on the horizon. How do you make people quit the best job in the world..... make their life miserable.
Currently I am working on 3 different avenues to generate passive income. As well as creating a right wing GoFundMe, but I am not a nerd and know nothing about computers. Haha so it is hard finding tech people who are right wing, especially since this censorship, it kinda killed that plan. So I am having to restart.
Anyway, I dont know what this rant was about. But I thought I would share it with you pedes. Since I'm sure it is the same at your workplace.
RAGE
Dont know anything about that fancy stuff, but totally agree. I could go back to farming and ranching and be totally happy.
I would. I want nothing to do with the airlines anymore. They are always boom and bust. Tons of PC bullshit. Women in aviation. Black pilots association, gay pilots association. Who fucking cares!
Well, I care; I wouldn't want an affirmative action pilot.
commercial pilots are already at higher risk of suicide because of the workload, and politics of their airlines; why would I want an Alphabet person with even higher risk of suicide doing that job, risking my life for an overpriced, uncomfortable flight... just sayin'
At this point, I'd only ever get private charter flights.
The airlines love affirmative action pilots. Women and minorities get hired before others. Women pilots generally suck as pilots. Especially the ones that were flight attendants and went back to school to be pilots. Scatter brain morons.
Not to mention the flaming poofters and grizzled battlechrones dominating "attendants". I much prefer east asian airlines.
Ding. Old grizzled gestapo FA's are the worst. United is among the worst IMO. I've had ok luck with American but the service on US airlines is a joke.
As a passenger I’d rather drive most of the time than put up with FAs and airport fucktards. I don’t know how commercial pilots do it.
Or middle eastern
Nah not been impressed by me.
GET OUT NOW. Biden is going to send troops back to the Middle East ASAP. GET OUT!!!!!
Is that where CCP wants them?
Bankers need their war in Iran or Syria
I'm sure PedoJoe will send our troops wherever the CCP demands it!
Russia. China wants the continent for themselves. Beiden will make sure they use US troops to do it.
Russia is not full of retards. I don't want our guys to get chewed up.
