[Mr. Irrelevant]

cjh,


Almost every company in America has been issuing dissapointing quarterly reports. The SEC has a very high success rate (over 90%) in tracking down and prosecuting those who front-run their trades based on material non-public infomation. You can bet every single large trade that took place in the days before that earnings announcement has been reviewed by the SEC.

Plus, as Katanabob mentioned, all officers had to file. The SEC knew it was going to happen and allowed the trades with probably very good knowledge of the company's financial status.

Martha isn't being investigated by the SEC just because someone didn't like one of her products. She made a big trade that probably stuck out like a prison jumpsuit in a courtroom!

By the way, I think the cushy jobs are also at the top of the pile.

Peace.


Mr. I.

I don't know if my career choice has had anything to do with my wife and I seperating. ---- Family is far more important than flying or any job. Yes, it is an amazing career, but I'll take my marriage back first. I would quit flying tomorrow and do any other job if my wife came back to me. She helped build my dream and we dreamed together and now that she is gone, I feel like part of my dream is gone too. I have come to realize that family is priceless and careers are replacable.

While I agree with you that family is more important than a career, don't ever think your career ended you marriage. In the military I was deployed all the time, and was worried about the effect on my marriage, since there was a high divorce rate in our wing. I asked one of the older members of my squadron if he thought that the stress of our job destroyed marriages, and to this day I agree with what he said...."the stress of this job won't destroy a good marriage, but it will accelerate the end of a bad one".

If you look in my profile, my current position is Mr. Mom. I have already graduated college and now that I dont have a flying job Im letting my wife finish up her BS because she has been accepted into dental school. Im currently wating to her back from the Mil to see if I got in. Whatever it takes to get my wife through dental school Im going to do. That was her dream and Im going to let her chase it. Mine was to fly and currently its not gettting the bills paid unless I get into the mil. If I dont get in Im going to get a job in law enforcement.

My #1 goal is to get my wife through dental school. Dentists usually make 150K plus there 1st yr in practice. My wife has promised me that if I do WHATEVER it takes to get her through dental school I can retire and do whatever I want the day she graduates. Im only 26 now and she should have everything finished up in about 5 yrs. Im looking at being retired by the time Im 32. Pleny of time to the things I love, cant wait.

Best job in the world

My wife and I have been together for over 5 years now. Not all that long in the grand scheme of things, nevertheless, she was and still is 100% supportive of me and my flying career. If flying is what makes you happy then a good spouse will recognize that and be happy for you. This is exactly what my wife does and I love her all the more for that. My best job in the world is being a husband.

Flying is a job . . . . . not a life.

Dead wrong, my friend. Working in an office 9 to 5 is a job. Flying is a lifestyle.

Wife = Ball-and-Chain

Grow up, junior.

It's all about priorities, and making those known WELL BEFORE any major life decisions are made.

The man I'm involved with may just be the one I make a real commitment to. He knows I am studying air traffic control and is completely supportive, doing things like quizzing me on the 7110.65 till the wee hours. He knows that starting my career is the most important thing to me right now. He knows at some point I will have to leave for months for the FAA Academy, and that I may be called to go anywhere to do my job. He accepts this. He's not always thrilled, but he understands.

He'd like to eventually go back to school and become a history teacher. I'm sure he'll want to quit working warehouse when he does this. (Working full time + going to school =no fun, I'm doing it now.) I'll probably be the one making the money and paying the bills. I accept this.

I'd think it's natural to want to do everything you can for a person you're committed to, someone you love.

I never would claim every woman or man for that matter could handle a spouse having an aviation career. I can't blame those who can't handle the time away their spouse spends. That said for me I knew I couldn't get married until I found a woman who could.

If you were married and THEN decided to become a commercial pilot I might see that you have to put family first and maybe that means giving up the dream. The reality is if your girlfriend/fiance/wife knew who and what you are before they made a commitment, then that commitment should be forever.

For me my wife knows that flying is who I am, and without it I wouldn't be the man she married. She supports me and lifts me up in my career and life and I wouldn't have it any other way. She knew what she was getting into and for us, as a family, well it works perfectly.
