Unfortunatly its in a pilots nature to complain.... We'll never be happy.

(just a generalization)

If you put 100 pilots in a room and told them that they only had to fly on Mondays, someone would stand up and say "you mean EVERY Monday??" I agree with whoever said this is the best job in the world...once the doors are closed...

There are far worse ways to spend your life than making 80K for sitting in a nice jet for 14-15 days a month. Even if you never make it to the majors, it still beats sitting in a windowless cubicle for 8 hours a day doing paperwork.

Wow, where do you work? Willy Wonkas flying elevator? And your comparison stems directly from the film Office Space? Everyone who doesn't fly airplanes in blue skies files TPS reports all day long. Sniff some more glue.

I love my job....... when I'm at home on my days off.

Just my opinion, there are better ways to make a living....

There is no reward for being a "good" airline pilot. You can try as hard as you can to keep your nose clean, your uniform neat, and to do things just a little better than the next guy. Doesn't matter to your company, to them you're "just meat in the seat". They pay you just the same as the jackass who can barely stay out of the Chief Pilot's Office.

You have to watch that too! You might end up with a grievance filed against you for "making your coworkers look bad", or "making more work for your coworkers". There's no place in this industry of "over achievers". I found THAT out the hard way!

That made me laugh

Great. If you really feel that way then quit, find a better job, and stop being that guy in the other seat who spends the whole 4 day trip b!tching about the job. Otherwise, there's nobody twisting your arm to stay in this business so if you do stay, be content with that decision. Nothing personal. This is really for everyone who feels that same way as you. You just happened to be the guy who's message caught me at the right time.

Unhappy with your job? Quit. Fantastic advice. We'd have approximately 1% of the US population working, CEO's and porn photgraphers. Oh, can't forget those freaks who fly airplanes virtually for free and get 2nd and 3rd jobs to support it while their CEO's bank millions... there'd be a few of those left too. Like this genius.

Dude, that is hilarious!!!!!! How true this statement is though....
