Whereas I take pride in what I do and it doesn't matter what colour the fin is.
I'm not convinced that the reputation of your airline, whoever it is, rubs off on you as much as you like to think.

es, but that's different to you, as a pilot, being associated with whichever airline.

You are just another Joe Blow, doesn't matter a jot who you work for.
If one thinks that one isn't then one has an ego problem.

I"m sorry but you failed to get my point. We were discussing what motivates people. What your opinion is on someone else's motivation is irrelevant to the discussion.

And when have you experienced 'quality' Chesty?! 3 years only on Boeings in that 'Gutter' of the North - when you've been part of something special, a two-way employer and rewarded well, you'll get what Quadspeed is saying.
Don't forget to say 'Have a great Holiday'!

All I'm saying is that there is more to employment than just driving the thing.
Walking through the lounge and down the jet bridge I for one feel a part of something larger. From the beds in first class to the wine selection in business, our product is of a high standard and we price it accordingly. Our customers certainly appreciate our product , and I'm proud to be a part. I speak to our customers with pride in our airline, and know that they expect nothing less than excellence in return for their money.
Whatever way you choose to look at it, it feels good to be a part of it and I for one would rather sit there with 3 stripes than in some flying circus with four.
And if choosing otherwise, then I think we can discuss your mention of who's ego needs checking.

Sean, been there done that and I'm not likely to spread my entire career history over pprune just for you. I'm now more than happy with my current choice thanks.
Taking you as an example - even now you're a bright eyed new boy at BA you're still the same noob as always.
By the way your use of single quotation marks to highlight your opinion is wrong.
You can take your vitriolic attitude and shove it.

OMG quad speed, you've swallowed the huggy fluffy stuff.
Is your definition of excellence dropping engine parts all over North London.

fade to grey "10 days off a month contracted from November." is an improvement from the "office workers" minimum of 8 you have had in your contract up to now, but, doesn't it cheese you off that the 737 drivers have 12 ? shome mistake shurely ? long haul used to be attractive for, amongst other things, more time off. . . .where did it all go wrong ?

Oh, that's easy dear chap . The customers perception of who is flying their airplane.
I thought I made that clear. But not to you it seems.
The bottom line is that some pilots like to be associated with a particular brand. And everything that goes with that.
As for 'most', then the best we can do is look at the numbers going from legacy to lcc, or the other way around. And after that, just let the numbers speak for themselves. I've done both, believe me, and so has most of my colleagues.

. The bottom line is that some pilots like to be associated with a particular brand. And everything that goes with that.
Been there, done that: Flying left seat on wide bodies for small carriers, pax and cargo.
Also flown right seat for big firms, worlds largest nowadays, 15,000 pilots.
Had more fun doing the smaller airlines, big fish in a small pond and all that.
Working for huge airline gets a bit dull after a while, everything is canned and too much Standardization. During a recent simulator check they had changed the procedures and call-outs. Instead of calling for speed, it was now speeds.
The instructor kept hissing in my ear speedsss, not speed, confused me while trying to climb out on one engine after a V-1 cut. I flew the jet fine and put it back on the ground fine, but got dinged for the speeds, or speed call, still not sure what the problem was.
Don't need the status and recongnition of a major airline, but the benefits are great.
That being said, more work, less pay with a smaller outfit, but more fun. More pay, less work with a big one.
Would like to have my cake and it eat too.
Or just retire early, been doing this too much anyways.
Carry on chaps, without me..
