What's everyones backup career ?

[EasyFlier]

Here's a good side job or backup plan for people who live or work in Georgia or Texas. You can do it while you fly or from your hotel room. I know people making six figures part time with this thing. I just do it a little and have been very pleased with the results so far. Nowhere near six figures but maybe in few years. If you work on it for a while it could turn into steady passive income in the future.

I got an idea, become a porn star and bang fat chicks!

What a great idea. A backup plan for pilots and flight attendants.

ALPA makes F&H's job easy....A two year old could divide a group of airline pilots....




So let me get this straight....ALPA has no responsibity or solution to the "starting all over" routine you speak of, but you want a middle class family in Fargo to pay taxes to retrain me when market forces do their thing....That is amazing and shows how out of touch you are with the general membership....

We as a union could solve this problem of starting all over....Every other profession has the ability...it can't be that difficult...

If I have to start over....I am capable of taking care of myself....I don't need Uncle Obama to take care of me....It isn't the Federal Govts.(ie tax payers) job to take care of us because we can't figure out a way not to have to start all over again at the bottom....

You're right Rez...Amazing.....

wrong again Short Bus!

you haven't comprehended what I've said.

wrong again Short Bus!

you haven't comprehended what I've said.

Then explain to me what you want the government to do for pilots who lose their job....and then are forced to start all over again at the bottom...

I would prefer that we start acting like other professions that don't have to start all over again at the bottom...

As of now, you are not worth the time.

When you gain creditibility....perhaps...

If I get furloughed, I'm gonna sell motorcycles for a living. Might as well make a passion a career. Maybe it will pay better too.

Then why do you respond to most of my posts....If I'm not worthy of your time....then refrain from posting a response....

I'll take your non-response response as yet another case of getting caught without a good answer....

Quick....call Herndon and get your marching orders.....

Face it you want the Federal Govt. to solve the problems that ALPA refuses to deal with....Neither are capable of solving many problems.....
