Don't you want to know in your heart of hearts you are earning a living flying when a passenger thanks you for a good flight, that you did not have to buy that opportunity to hear a passenger thanking you for a good flight??!!"

Earned your job? Sounds like you are spending more money renting a twin, doing touch and go's on 9R. What right? If I were you, I wouldn't buy a ticket on a major airline if you are worried if any of the 100,000+ major airline pilots PFT'd. You may have to rent your own twin or cessna to fly to Osaka next time.

Gulfscab? Did all of these Gulfstream pilots, who fly for American, United, Delta, Northwest, AMWest, Southwest, Continental, FEDEX, UPS, etc., scab? Did they cross a picket line? When? Tell me what a scab is, OK?
