AI, I'm sure you're not as arrogant as you make yourself out to be here, although you seem to try pretty hard from much of what I've read. I'm sick of people making idiotic comments that make their colleagues look like they have their heads stuck up their arses. I'm pleased you feel so comfortable judging who the knobs are and aren't - valuable skill that

I'm sure most of the pilots at Eagle, like other airlines, have something to offer, and just because someone is not your cup of tea dosn't automatically make them a knob. (Sorry if this sounds like a lecture, it's just always been a pet hate of mine in this industry). You may disagree?

I don't think you have a right to refer to another airline as 'a bunch of monkeys' just to make your own situation feel brighter. Again, just my opinion, others may differ?

pressed_on makes some very good points, and you may want to note the balanced way he looks at the situation - another valuable skill

My two cents on the original question is that Eagle and Air National will have different strengths and weeknesses. It depends what you're looking for in a job, and you should definitely talk to as many pilots from each as possible before deciding which one's for you - but not on here, because the bull**** very quickly overshadows the facts. Good luck with the job hunting!

AirNat used to have the worst turbo prop pay in the industry (about half the national average salary). I'm not sure about now, but I hear commands are quick.

cc, I probably have had more to do with air nat in the past than you have total time so please dont do blowing your trumpet acting like you are the king of ****. Let me put it straight then, a.n. when I had anything to do with them were dodgy, the pilots took risks that my pax commented on, on more than 1 occasion and refused to fly with them for the return leg...
They may have changed their culture a bit in the last couple of years but this type of thing was rife at the times that I had dealings with them so yes I think I have a right to my comments, ********.
I am not arrogant and do not try on here at all whch brings me to the conclusion that you are someone who has heard things but knows no facts and then posts it, bet you dont have much moe than 1000 hrs or you are instructing and have no REAL WORLD experience, I hope I dont see you sitting next to me on a **** day in the skys my friend. You need to grtow up, probably literaly...

Ouch! If that's how you want to come across, that's your choice I'll stop commenting on your style and stick to the facts.

Yes of course you have every right to comment, particularly if you have experience with Air National which I don't. I just took issue with the 'bunch of monkeys' remark, and without trying to sound like the 'king of ****' as you put it, I personally prefer to hear factual comments as in your last post, so that people can get a good feel for the reality, which is no doubt what the person who started the thread is looking for.

I'm sorry if I offended you, after re-reading my post I admit it's a bit sanctimonious, but as I say, you hit a bit of a nerve.

Matty, not sure about the drinking buddies bit, but yeah I guess we must know each other.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.........

cc, thanks for that, I too apologise for the comments, it's just hard to remember sometimes why something is bad, you just know it is... Facts only from now on...
