That I’m not looking for your endorsement, just asking about how you’d go about doing the blackball thing. Seemed strange and somewhat aggressive, but if that’s your thing then, fine.

Not spooled at all..
0 spooling here. I answered your question about the mechanics of giving a don't pick em at my company and why anyone going high and right over my refusal to wear a mask deserves one, in my opinion.
Oh, gotcha. Yeah I wasn’t referring to you.
I was referring to the large number of idiots I’ve seen over the years come down to Kingsville high on the Navy, super jazzed about being in command, being super confident of their chances of making O-6 and possibly major command ashore, and then proceed to burn almost every possible bridge with their cadre of reservists. Then when they realize that as it turns out, their career prospects in the Navy aren’t actually that bright and being the Ops O of a CVN isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be, and it’s going to be super hard to get current again in the Navy if they intend to retire as an O-6...turns out that the reservists won’t tend to help a guy out when he’s spent the last 36 months shitting on them every chance he’s gotten.
It’s just something that happens over and over again and I was making light of it.
Bingo. Happening right now at my wing. The people doing it are convinced that the airlines are really going to like their management experience and great ideas.
Huh? Let's get real. Seniority is no equalizer. Just the opposite really. And the only version of rank we have in the airlines is four strip vs three, and seniority doesn't mean shit in that pissing contest. I was the number one or two FO in LA for a couple years. Top ten for over five years. Half the guys I flew with were junior to me, but it made no difference. I had the years and the hours in type. But he had the stripes. Fine with me. Just pointing out the lack of logic in what you posted.
Clearly, he was talking about one’s military rank...
Since when are you Frank's big brother? Can you not let any chance to comment from the peanut gallery pass? I respect @FrankTheTank . I'll let him clarify as he sees fit.
I could ask you the same question.
Are you the official logic police now, too?
Got it. Sucks that you all are seeing that and totally not my ball of wax. I'm sure the AD/SELRES/SAU relationship is complex to manage at the least.
I was apparently misinterpreting that you were implying that airline pilots in the reserves were a "protected class" that should be treated differently when it comes to obeying orders due to the ability to potentially influencing the future employment of their current superiors. That would also be a complex relationship to navigate and am glad that I was misinterpreting that and hope that you all have a better scene as soon as possible. If you're comfortable sharing- what did the "burning every possible bridge" consist of?
Basically what Slick said. Military rank means jack nor shit in the Airlines. It doesn’t matter if you’re the CNO, you‘re forever junior to lessor ranked (reserve/retired) officers or civilians for that matter!
Technically, I think he would be my little brother…. I’m fairly sure he’s younger than me…. And quite a bit would be my guess…. I received my commission over 28 years ago.
Ladies, ladies, ladies…it’s okay, you are all equally fugly…
OK. I get that. But still feel like "seniority is an equalizer" is not exactly true even in your context. The biggest O-6 asshole, and some are reservist, not active duty retired, that is an airline Captain can still lord over an FO who has a better number on the company seniority list. I mean I now get what you were getting at. Just say'in.
No I am not his big brother. But I am senior in years on the line and commissioned. So, based on the previous posts, that would make you our junior. Think I could encourage you to sit quietly while the adults talk.
