About our jobs. My Buddy just emailed it to me

Sorry but this is a lame post. I bet you use the argument that we're responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars in liability, therefore we're deserving of such entitlement. Get over yourself.

Tell that to the engineer that designed the bridge inside the Hyatt (?) in Kansas City. You know, the one that collapsed and killed quite a few peeps.

The design was sound. The builder took a short cut without consulting the engineers. The building inspector missed it and wham people dead. Seems the weakest link was a high school grad/drop out that thought he knew better than the engineer.
Hey that sounds like fuelers, baggage handlers, gate agents and sometimes the dispatcher. Gee I guess the bridge is only as strong as the weakest worker.
So that means Philly is only how good????

I think you guys missed the point of this story!

Stories like this should be published in papers like USA today, Readers Digest etc...

That would stirr a pot!


I started flying 16 years ago and when I started I was on my way to be admired and honored professional. I have done a lots of things that the story before mentioned, not always as an pilot but as an military personel. Unfortunately I have to say there is a lots of truth in it.

The aviator has lost its pride and honor. We are just a bottom worker in this capitalised world and no one support us.

Worst thing is that even the pilots themselves doesn't support each other.
