Corporate vs. Commercial

Guys, don't feed the trolls. Read a bunch of what Skyline says on other threads, and you'll see that he's FOS everywhere. He just does it to get a rise out of people. I will say this though, as far as trolls go around here, he's pretty good at it.

There is one thing you are mistaken about. I am employed. For the last two years I have been building houses and doing well at it. I am constantly stunned by meeting guys daily who pull wire or drive a dump truck and earn fantastically more than my regional airline captain friends. The guy who installs carpets for me is taking in more than 120K/year and fully expects to be retired in ten years.

The world is turned upside down.

Don't get me wrong I envy you guys. I miss flying and am sad that my career is over. Every day I wish I was at a good company, but I am not. And there is little hope at this point that I ever will get there.

Besides all the aforementioned situations that have combined to sink my career. The biggest thing that kills an aviation career is success in another field. So far things are going well with my construction company.

If the world is so rosey for you outside of aviation, what the heck are you doing here? Why don't you go spend some of your big bucks and play with your kids? Why are you posting in the middle of the day? Shouldn't you be out building a house, like most house builders do, during daylight hours???

I don't think he's flaim bait though, I think he's just a glass halfempty kinda guy. He needs to get out of aviation.

I dunno Flechas, go re-read his Scary Numbers thread. If he isn't a troll, he easily has the poorest attitude of anyone I've ever met in aviation, and frankly, am happy that he's on the airline side - I won't ever have to share a cockpit with him.

But I still think he's a troll.

He IS a troll, no doubt about that!! I didn't know he was in the airlines,I thought he diidn't make it.

 

[bigD]

Ah hell, I don't know - maybe he didn't make it, which would be fortunate because *none* of us would have to share a cockpit with him.

I could use a drink like the one in your avatar.

Let me know when you are in SGR, I'll buy you a drink,I know a good mexican in Hwy 6.

 

[bigD]

You're on! Although typically my trips to SGR are for the day only, so I'll be the one buying you drinks!

Skyline...
Personally, I do wish you well in your career. Here's a tip: A wise man once told me that if you always do what you've always done you'll always get what you've always got.

I'm here to tell ya, the glass really is half full.

Actually, the glass is too big

Actually, the glass is too big

I was thinking the bottle was too small!

 

[Flechas]

I thought you were a "half full" kinda guy, not "half empty"!

By the glass being too big I mean being more positive than "half full"

 

[Flechas]

But if you are talking about the glass in my avatar then you have a drinking problem, and a new drinking partner
