Here's what the aviation community is saying about Shiny Jet Syndrome!

"SJS - Shiny Jet Syndrome - the driving force of so many young pilots to take crap wages just to be able to fly a jet..." irishcarbomb of stuckmic.com fame

"Maybe having to actually have some flying experience will dampen out that shiny jet syndrome and inject some realism, skill, and judgment into the equation." Draginass of flightinfo.com

"Go and see a doctor. . . . .You have Shiny Jet Syndrome (SJS)" iahflyr of airlinepilotcentral.com

"Yeah I had SJS. Working 7 days a week straight on less then minimum wage just to get to 600TT so I could apply at a Regional to fly jets. It caught up with me, and I didn't reach 600TT." Airdale of jetcareers.com

"Not knocking you but when your replacement can be trained from 0 hours to regional FO in a few months to pass a canned checkride, there will always be someone with SJS willing to give it a shot for equal to less than what you were making." Slice of airlinepilotcentral.com

"I wrote the SJS piece when I worked for Comair. It was adopted by a JetBlue pilot shortly thereafter who made a nifty website out of it. I'm amused that it is still making the rounds." ZapBrannigan of jetcareers.com
