I want to thank you all for your replies. It seems many of you are good customers of the In and Out Burger and have reminded me of the great responsibility I have of feeding you low paid airline pilots (union and non-union) who can’t afford to eat elsewhere. Most of you indicated with strong reasoning that I should stay at the In and Out Burger and only a handful of you indicated I should consider the pilot profession for the simple reason that it is fun to fly.
As a professional fast food worker, I believe I have a moral responsibility to the passengers of you pilots who can only afford to eat meals at the In and Out Burger. I have great pride in my job because of this responsibility demand a fair wage for it. The In and Out Burger provides me with a fair wage in which I can actually rent an airplane every Sunday after church ( if I’m not hung over), and fly to someplace I want to fly to like Fresno (not). This fulfills my love of flying.
Really though,
Thanks for all who understand this post and get it. Thanks to the union and non-union professional pilots at airlines like Skywest and everywhere else that safely get their passengers and freight where they need to get every day. Let me leave you with this: Most of you can go out on the back porch of your rented apartment and grill a burger on your hand me down BBQ. But, can the hamburger man at your local fast food restaurant launch himself out of SLC in a state-of-the-art airliner in a January snow storm and safely deliver 70 weary passengers to some destination clear across this great country landing on a runway you have never seen before in ¼ vis.? You all are worth much, much, more.
