A tw@t like you would not know real work if it hit you in the face. An SO is the epitome of cheap labour, thats not slinging mud but a fact.
I guarentee you a lot of those RJ pukes as you so politely call them will have far superior flying skills and abilities to you.
Very true, Luggage. However, RJ pilots, in general, are doing the same thing SOs are doing. Working cheap, trying to build good time, all in hopes of better things in the future. The upside for RJ pilots is that they can choose from a plethora of hiring airlines. Not so for SOs, they are locked in at CX for at least 5 years before they get any relevant experience. By then, the RJ pilot is long since a captain but still doesn't have a seniority number anywhere. The SO has a seniority number at CX, which used to be worth something. Now? I'm starting to wonder...
