rock and a hard place

[say again]

I got out of flying to become a stock broker!!! LOL, and look at me now. Time to start looking again, back to flying I guess.

Beach, Mountain, the plains of Kansas. Not really the point. Point again is do you want to be flying until your 65 and working for the man or do you want to do something else and retire sooner?

Do something else?...Like what?....

Be a "doctor" like all you guys say...Go back to "medical school" like it is something that takes 12 weeks start to finish, and then it's all 6 figures and wine and chocolate and happiness from there? Get real.....You must have never had a doctor or lawyer as a neighbor.

Is your good buddy and/or neighbor really that happy in his cubicle job just because he gets to come home every night?.....Of course he isn't.

But I guess i'm not a water cooler chat/ office Xmas party kind of guy.

Yeah, I hear ya. I picked the wrong time to become a Hedge Fund manager. "Redemption, what's that?"

No it's not that this is the problem with the majority of kids today. The real problem is many have never worked hard for anything. Many have never slaved at minimum wage jobs or served their country to earn their place in life. And thus, they don't realize just how good they have it. But to quote Bob, "the times, they are a changing."

I try to think of it like this... http://www.endofworld.net/

"Us Californians only have to worry about California breaking off to hang with Hawaii... and Alaska can come too..."

so the major airline pilots are to blame for screwing the futures of so many Rj pilots....i can see that.
Out fo fear, they caved and ruined the lives of all Rj pilots out there...i wonder if they even consulted with any of you?? did they mention they would reduce the pay rates and increase the amount of work thats to come?
so why are they so angry with the regional pilots?
how did the regional pilots take their jobs away?
i see it as putting an Rj on a route kinda keeps the mailine route instead of just loosing it. the mailine carriers can take back the routes when ever they want cant they?
so why the hate for the Rj pilot?
maybe the Rj pilot should hate the major pilots...seems like no security at all for the Rj pilot.
those sons a B*TCH!!!
they ruin it and blame the Rj pilot? WTF?
So now Mr. Rj pilot what have you got to look to?
its a black wall your facing and some looser says man up? who ever you are i hope you die fag.

The regional pilots have the resources and empowerment to make it a better place...

One of the problems is they don't seem too keen on helping themselves working to improve their circumstance and environment with pragmatism and smarts...

Too many Regional pilots have a "renters" mentality, as if they are renting a car or house.... there is no sense of ownership.....

Well if you don't take a ownership in your career.... who will? The major guys? Management? The pax?

The only ones that care about your profession are you and your fellow pilots...

Glad to be out of the airlines after seven years in. Made decent money, out of debt and have a good job. I know a lot are not as fortunate. Skills are nothing if they can't be put to good use. Not talking ninja skills, either. Good luck to those that are in for the long haul.
