Pilots are dumb

[Nindiri]

No, really, I feel bad for you. It must suck to learn that you wasted all that money when you could have done it for half as much. I know I'd be angry if I had done such a stupid thing.

I hear more and more pilots beotching about being away from home, traveling, hotels (as one of the earlier posters), and I think to my self, these people have to be some of the dumbest friggin' people on earth.

Did you think being a pilot didn't include any of this?

I agree, if they don't like it why do they stay? They not only make themselves miserable but everyone who actually loves this job and flying to begin with.

The fantasy is very different from the reality...
Often, schedules that are doable, 6 months later are fatiguing. Being away from home right out of college is fantastic, but wears on you 10 years later with a 3 yeAr old at home.
It's attitude, bu it's also the reality of the schedule you have.

What a garbage career. I cannot believe people are actually dropping tens of thousands of dollars in training to actually get a shot at making 20K/year in addition to being on the road half the month.

I have thrown the towel in from an established career to make a career elsewhere.

How do people justify spending almost six-figures on training for a job that pays minimum wage? Last time I checked the clerk at 7-11 did not pay $75k to train for his job(he is too smart to do that).

Before long widebodies will be flown for $55k/year.

Pilots were once pricks, now they are just dumb. Continue the stabs in the back and enjoy the work and medical and check rides for dirt money. No thanks...
Enjoy

What career are you talking about? I have flown 6 days in the last 3.5 months and got paid 8.5k/mo for that.

Not many other careers that I know of allow that.

Marine Corps is hiring. You will gain a new perspective.

But how many people are lucky enough to be where you are? Not as many as you'd think. I am happy for you, but I think what is happening is the disparity between the have and have nots in the airline industry. Thats why there is so much bellyaching.

Hasn't it always been that way with every career? I suggest to anyone that does not like their current job that they evaluate their situation and quit if it does not work for them......vs complaining about it forever. I don't want to hear the complains, either do something or kayate.
