Ok, I am sick of all this airline B.S. You too? Been doing this crap for 27 years.



The FAA, bitchy old 250’ flight attendants with rear ends the size of pack mules, rags and f#g’s, bad schedules, being JA'ed, non-reving, bad management, dead heading in the middle seat, mergers, seniority, all-nighters, no food, bad coffee, bidding, sh#tty hotels, vacation, kids, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends or both, waiting for gates, weather, low approaches, PC's, PT's, weak check airman, medicals, driving to work, commuting to and from work, spring break, Christmas, Chanukah, Easter, car payments, house payments, insurance, alimony, child support, gas, electric bills, lawn service, maids (because your fat a## wife wont get her a## off the couch), cant drink, drug and alcohol testing, dry cleaning, security, TSA, Terrorism, bad porn, good porn you can't have, no porn magazines in the airplanes anymore, sexual harassment charges, high gas/oil prices, IRS, rush hour traffic, that d#mn alarm clock, crash pads, co-pilot's that tell you are a bit high and fast and she/he puts the frick-en speed breaks out 80 miles from the airport at 5000' when you are trying to get your commute flight home, flight attendants and co-pilots telling you they are senior after being there 3 years, cell phone's, bidding every d#mn month, they guy or gal on the headset that you cant understand and I am sure there is more.



Well I am sick of it!!! I just went out and bought a 40' ocean-going sailboat. I am out of here!!! No more of all this B.S.



Might even step up to the 56' by the years end if any of you want to come up with some additional bucks.



I am out of here in January. Quitting!!! Yep that’s right I am out of here. Want to go? Start planning, I want to see the world, want to go? Where we going, who knows, who cares!!! I do know there will be a stop in the Virgin Islands, Costa Rica, and New Zealand and where ever else the trade winds take us. We will decide when we want to! Not Crew Scheduling!!!



Want to go? Start planning, do you drink, smoke, or scratch you’re a## or balls in the morning? Who cares!!! I don't. Laid back, want to get away (Thanks WN), tired of all the Bull S., want to see the world, no hang-ups, enjoy life, have some extra bucks or just find this interesting, well e mail me.



I am selling everything as you read this. It's going to be so much fun to tell crew scheduling to sh#ve it up there a## on my last day, not to mention my chicken sh#t chief pilot.



I am fed up!!! You too? I am not kidding, sell the house, cars, and cash out the 401k’s, IRA’s, stocks, bonds or what ever else you may have. They will never find us. Just don’t plan on coming back if you sell all that stuff. I am not coming back. My closest friends will know where I am.



Take a chance and enjoy your life while you can….



I am…



Contact Departure…………. See ya,

Farkin Awesome.

Be sure and mount a 50cal on that puppy before venturing too far (pirates are very real) and bring every Hunter Thompson novel with you.

Have fun.
 
Ha...sounds like fun. If you get stuck somewhere, let me know...I'll outfit a squad of misfits from this bbs and para-drop them in to rescue you. Yea, I know...they'll be doomed and so will you, but it'll be funny reading about it in the funny papers. :D

Good luck with the retirement!
 
HERE, HERE! I totally agree and I am right there witcha.......in about 25 more years. :D
 
I wish you weren't quitting. You sound awesome!


Congrats and have fun.
 
Take me with you? Please?
 
I'd go with you if I didn't have all these freaking credit cards to pay!!! That's my kind of trip!!!!!
My retirement will be very simlar, only I'll have a small house in an island, with 71 virgins and a bunch of penguins ;)
 
All this dissatisfaction,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Wow, and just think there's some 20 year old CFI, SWEATIN a hole through his docker khakis in some po-dunk 172 gettin paid minimum wage from some scum bag operator at some Non-towered airport in Dirtbag, Florida , pleading with Key Bank for his fourth of Fifth loan forebearance, takin crap from his live in girlfreind whose tired of supporting his ass wondering when he's gonna start making the big bucks and stop living off of Ramaen noodles and move out of the current dump their in and have a kid!! All this while some student pilot gives him sh#!t on a daily basis just because they can't perform a proper steep turn+/- 100 feet, walking into the FBO to hear another CFI spreading more bulls!%t than a Drunken Sailor to the tune of

"Yea Man, I heard Comair is really hiring at 6 and 1"! or my personal favorite
"Yea Man, You jus get gotta some more Multi-time"!

Oh yea and lest we forget the occasional career fair he's gonna blow 5 or 600 hundred bucks to travel to so some Regional recruiter could say something along the lines of-
" Yea, we're really looking for 250 Multi at this time, But Thanks for coming"!

I'm sure Front office had to do the same stuff, maybe even worse. A 20 year old CFI has his life ahead of him, so if he's not happy about it, he still can have career change.
