Thought the CHILD LABOR LAWS prevented children from suffering such a fate as having to work at an airline. Drive a bus. Sit on a couch. My first job was washing dishes and bussing tables...not much to whine about there, you just humped ass or got fired.

This morning I picked a book up off of the coffee table of a retired NWA Captain's. It was called "Death on the ice". It was about a tragedy in 1914, where some Newfoundland Sealers were killed on the ice flows hunting seals because they got left out there for three days on foot. The pictures of the corpses filling the deck area on the bow of the recovery ship were chilling none the less.

Long story short... people on this planet and in this country have jobs and have had jobs that were not comfortable, not clean to do, not easy to do and were life risking for pennies on the dollar. I say take your complaints about your little airline job, that you BEGGED to get at the interview, and go tell em to a West Virginia coal miner, a commercial fisherman, a person that debones chickens or renders hides, drives that huge bull dozer in a land fill in some hot southern climate where it stinks like sombody SHlT on death. Go tell them sombody made you drive a company van to go to work. I bet when that budwiser drinking, blue collar worker hears your whine, his answer will be to punch the teeth out of your mouth and F@CK the bloody spot.

There are alot of people out in the REAL world that are laid off or fighting a war in a foreign county right now, so keep your whining to yourself. You interviewed there, it's your dream job to be an airline pilot, quit whining and get to work.

The chick in your picture has a nice ass.
 
Not only that, but when she lets go with some wholesome, .223 caliber, belt fed goodness from that stoner, her nice boobie knockers bounce around pretty good too.

Mungus' life

Hey ATRCA, I am 27 years old, did not attend riddle, own my own home ( yes on a Colgan Salary, no its not a single wide!) Have a wife who is in college and a child. Have not been supported by the family since I was 21. Just to clear things up!:p
T-Jet, thanx for the props mate. Cheers to you!

I'm proud of you.

BYW, livin at homw is BS! My parents would probably let me, but give me a break.

Tityjet, its ok bro, you live at home no big deal (wink wink). I moved out when I was 18, went to college and I've never been back. No chip by the way, my parents are not poor and I did not have to climb up hill both ways to get to school. My parents have been there for me just as much as anyone else, I just happen to have a shred of self respect and at 30 I would NEVER live at home. Sure it would be easy to go home, but come on. If you've got to live at home to have this career than is it really worth having? If you say yes, then your whats wrong with this industry.

BTW Tity, I'm professional enough to do my job well regardless of whats going outside the cockpit, so spare me the "people killing" BS. Just flew 50 people safely from MCI to EWR about an hour ago, so you can rest well, they'll be no dyin if I have anything to do with it.

How about being called out of your base in NY on hot reserve in Manassass with no airplane to be on reserve with there all day. Sitting reserve in a hotel for a week in HYA watching TV waiting for a call to do something..anything. Spending all day travelling to an out station for TDY and finding out when you get there that you are reversing course and going back to your base. The list goes on.........Colgan is like a box of chocolates.....u never know what u r going to get. Mind you I am not complaining, just leading an everchanging, exciting, spontaneous life.

Actually, it's better than that. You can descend to 100' above touchdown, not just another 100'.

I can attest to the fact that Mung does not live in a single wide. On his salary he can afford a double wide with a detached garage! Just joking mung!!

Heard a good rumor today Mung.. You'll be a happy camper if it's true.

By the way.. What exactly is a Mungusaurus? Is it something penicillin cures? :cool:
