Many obstacles, what your dad make you buy your own gas for the car he gave you?
Worked hard mowing the lawn and taking the garbage out every thursday?
Educated yourself, I guess those gravy sucking teachers had no input towards your education.
Keep telling yourself that it was all you. I guess your CFI during your private lessons was just a formality too!
Keep telling yourself that it was all you, any inner city or extremely rural or even third world kid could do what you or are any us of do on a daily basis if given the opportunity, you some how think that the silver spoon you were fed with equates to hard work...it doesn't. You aren't that special.
You are proof that you cannot educate the ignorance out of a person.

Hahaha thanks Obama! "You didn't get there on your own, you used roads and bridges..."

Yeah apparently not, also the guys I fly with who were in the military did not get this job on their own also, they used government tax money to learn how to fly.
Guess the only successful people in the world were handed everything and did not have to work hard to get there.

No one in the corporate world cares if you were a GoJets guy, got the time? Have a good attitude?
Those are what is important to getting the 200K a year job.

Just curious why you keep chiming in on every Gojetsss thread if "no one in the corporate world cares", and you claim to be a "corporate" guy?

Yeah, because many people in this country can't afford basic health care, much less dentistry, that's really funny! Having been in this industry for 20+ years, I will have to admit, a significant portion of the pilot population is sadly pathetic. If you want to get a view of your future, look at Mexico's middle class. You might also take a look at the pay history of this industry, compared to 20 years ago the CEO's have slashed and pillaged the pay and benefits and while you may currently make more than the toothless Waffle House waitress, your time is coming.

Sadly, most of the "poor" who can't "afford" healthcare have their top of the line cellphones, cellphone plans, flat screen TV, cable TV at home....albeit in a double wide, but they still have it. Also, I noticed most waffle house waitresses smoke. At $6 per pack, that's nearly $200 per month alone. If they got rid of these luxury items they could afford healthcare. It is all about choices.

I already saw the writing on the wall with regards to the pay history of the industry and the direction benefits were taking. Leaving the regionals and the rat race of the US aviation industry for a healthy pay and benefits increase was one of the best decisions that I ever made.

Varmint,

Do you know these cell phone/ flat screen welfare people? Or is that just what Rush told you.

I can't speak for Varmint, but I can tell you I've seen quite a few. Where I live they're not exactly hiding.

While I don't know many Waffle House waitresses, I find "most" to be a rash generalization. I might guess that most, working poor are the result of poor decision making processes. If your father had decided that getting drunk and beating your mom was a better idea than getting ahead you might not be where you are today. If poor people just decided to go to college they would be able to stop being poor. I guess those starving kids in those third world countries wouldn't be starving if they just decided to not starve.
Lotta ifs.
