Put me down for agreeing with the guys that have been around awhile telling FNGs to stay away.
I always laugh at you guys that get so bent out of shape when someone criticizes this industry, or god forbid, their airline.
This business blows and it's getting worse every year. Stay far away! If I could do it all again, I'd be a plumber and an electrician and start my own company. Guaranteed job security right there with knowing those two trades. Probably could be a millionaire in no time if you bought some trucks and hired some employees.
Aviation blows and part if the reason is the people like you that keep telling everyone how great it is even though you know it blows. BWTFDIK
Well, I for one am not bent out of shape that you hate my industry, I just think it sucks that you and Redmeat are involved in it when you hate it so much.
A plumber or electrician, really? Of course I know the world needs those people and I respect what they do...and they MAY have job security, but have you ever noticed how much a job like that can also suck? It really is hard labor. Ever seen a plumber with his whole arm stuck down a sewage pipe or get blasted with a facefull of putrid sludge? Well that's what they do every day. And as far as the job security, I'm sure it's not as great as you think (nothing really is secure these days). You think none of those guys ever got laid off from the places they work for? Starting your own business with trucks and the whole bit sounds great but how many plumbers or electricians have the means to do that? Why don't they all do that? Because it's easier said than done, that's why. Anywhere you try to start up a business there's already going to be plenty of competition in place with years of experience and a customer base, yadda yadda.
Aviation is great, as far as I'm concerned. I love what I do. And yes, I've been laid off with a wife and kids and bills to pay and all that. This isn't some 20 year old single kid talking.
Pilotyip gets it. I get it. I hope you do too someday.
