CO Airlines ....How can i get myself hired

[HA25]

And yes, we did oppose the communists from the east from year's past, because our job as military soldiers and aviators is to defend this country so you and punchy the clown can post whatever you'd like on this forum.

Hey there techo"soldier"... say what you want about my politics but don't be quick to assume anything...

I'm a Gulf War I vet, and unlike those very fortunate guys who sat in cockpits of fancy fighters and bombers pushing buttons (a job I would have loved back then mind you), I was in the trenches with the "Soldiers" and Marines craping in the sand, and eating MRE's for a few months in combat arms..

Let's take the personal attacks out.. I was just appealing to your sense of "Americanism" which is to say.. the communists were the originators of AA, and that we are now doing like them, which is the REAL DISGRACE.

What article is that from?

Flightinfo -- all the aviation conjecture fit to print and then some.

First of all, I will say thank you for serving out country during GW 1. You have my upmost respect, no matter what you did in that war, whether it be a logistics troop in tent city, a grunt in a trench, or a flyer dropping bombs. My hat is off to you...

However - I totally scoff your little anecdote of the pilots flying their "fancy fighters and bombers pushing buttons." That is complete bulls**t. I was too young to fly in that war, however a lot of my peers and mentors that currently do fly with me did fly in that war. It was far from flying their fancy little fighters. Their stories of jinking from triple A while doing last ditch's againt multiple SAM's is jaw dropping to say the least...especially in the first few days of the war when all their ingress's were at 500 feet in the heart of all the small arms fire. You have it completely wrong dude - their entire purpose in that war was to support you guys in the trench's so you can get boots on the ground. As I said, I completely respect your service to our country, but your analysis of fighter and bomber pilots back then couldn't be further from the truth.

Very respectfully - "techo" soldier, or whatever the hell else you'd like to call me

All true, and I still would have swapped with them (back then) in a NY Minute..

In the end, I guess as a guy with a ground combat military record, and watching the guys (some of whom I know) being killed over in Iraq now that are front line soldiers/Marines, I get a bit miffed when people equate all military jobs.. they're not equal, even if it's not politically correct to state so, Sorry that is a fact.

Sitting in a ship 100 miles off shore lobbing missiles at the push of a button, or sitting in a state of the art jet/bomber where the next best enemy nation is two decades behind us in technology isn't my idea of "hi risk" combat. Sorry.. Enjoy the job at CAL you earned it eitherway.

Anyway peace out..
