Cool Hand Luke

Remember when Luke breaks out of the chain gang and he sends back pictures of him with the ladies etc.? I feel like the George Kennedy character and the rest of the inmates reading these post.

Wooohoooo, he's alive and living the dream for us!



Only partially kidding and truly happy for him.

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…

Sounds like someone who speaks from experience. Have you already been through the "spin dry" program or something?

 

[crxpilot]

Still the BEST post worth keeping on top!

Does anybody who knows that guy know if he actually did it. I hope like he11 he did.

 

[Whine Lover]

Yup.

He did it for few years and then went off on a one year contract in China to pick up a few hundred grand flying an airbus for a Chinese upstart.

He's in Shanghai waiting to get trained....In the meantime he has a company paid furnished apartment, a company car WITH DRIVER, full Captain's pay and benefits,etc.

Oh...and all the above is still supplied after training. Your Driver chauffeurs you back and forth to work your trips as necessary. If you have kids they pay for private school, and the Wife gets to pick the furniture for the condo/apt. and they pay for it.

I have a lot of pictures from his sailing adventures ( complete with many breastages and beers)...as well as the most recent photo of his Chinese washing machine which he has yet been able to translate the buttons and do his wash properly.

WL,

Tell him he is an inspiration to a lot of people. Every time I get fed up with BS, I think of this post. Thanks for the update.
