Of course it happens in may professions, and the truth is that pilots flying white collar shirt-and-tie type flying don't see it very often at all.

Yep, I hope to never have to deal with it again.

You've had a truly difficult career thus far.

You know me well.

What's an uncharged arrival? You get charged for your arrivals? You do have a difficult job. I had no idea you had to cross runways. That's very rough.

lol... (sorry schpelling) Why am I going to explain an illustration, that very little actually goes exactly as planned and such mundane tasks (as viewed by us) can still have fatal or undesirable circumstance.. even in the dullest/simplest part of the job.

Manual labor is really something to be skipped?

I keep saying things without actually saying them. But for the jury, I am very glad to have worked a multitude of jobs, and am glad to have had experiences well away from airplanes on my resume, in character building, and skill-set. Many of which I could have done for the rest of my life. Nowhere did I say, unappreciated or beneath me, or that I am above... please strike those assertions from the record.

He said "You know, it's a real crime to be paid for something I have so much fun doing."

He understood. It's employment. It's a job. It's not work.

Yep it employment, its a job, but it is not a crime. I work hard, try to play hard, but flying in the end is just a job that I had to put a lot into that I have gotten very little out of. The fun is waining at best and not the determinant of QOL pay. JMHO, but obviously not. Somehow you and I can't just agree to disagree and this is more about me. Not sure how the fact I think we work hard and you don't has led to this..

Good luck!

If it is then perhaps you're simply a disaster magnet.

Actually you make me laugh b/c I could argue this point to be true.

This happens to you a lot, then? These medical emergencies, too many to count? And not even during medical operations?

We don't give health exams to board passengers. I have had lots of people nod off heading to FL. Had seizures. A lady become unresponsive smack dab in the middle of an ETOPS flight.

We don't second guess when medlink says get it on the ground ASAP.. If you declare a medical emergency, aww never-mind. Nothing special here, not sure why you find this so amazing..

I must say I'm in awe of your experience. For an airline pilot it's a wonder to behold.

Is this where you and I seem to diverge and is bringing on personal attack? I am sorry that I now fly for an airline (you assume) and it is causing a stumbling block.

I am very sorry for the thread drift, and am sorry that this guy got my blood pressure up on a USAJet thread (where I used to work) and talk about this job being simple with them recently losing an airplane a man's life and jobs.

So Avbug please forgive me for being defensive, I must have crossed the line with you. Thank you for trying to persecute me over my defense of the profession. Like I said I would rather just agree to disagree.

Best of luck to you.

Avbug,

Granted, flying isn't as physically demanding as an occupation which requires brut strength and endurance. But to say a professional pilots job isn't real work, well, that's an insult to you and everyone else who gets paid a cent to turn one, two, three or four engines.

You know yourself that there is plenty of tasks to be attended to between the long boring legs. Plenty. To me that constitutes work which requires knowledge that was acquired through a LOT of hard work. Aside from pushing buttons, there aretimes where a plane MUST be hand flown, and depending on what and why, this can be physically demanding. But what I think most pilots feel is mental fatigue and maybe that's not the same as being physically sore, it is none the less fatiguing to the point of inducing pilot error.

Maybe this is a point of who hurts more at the end of the day, but suffice it to say, the whole commuting (many times part of the job) and flying WILL leave you fatigued. This is not much different than the unskilled laborer at the end of his day.

Not really. I agree with Dick Scobee.

Regardless of whose right and whose wrong...Having that attitude will never stop the downward trend of this career....

Don't bother. In case you haven't noticed by avbug's recent and past posts, he:

-Is always right and everybody else is wrong
-Has "been there and done that" with regards to everything
-He's always done harder jobs than everybody else

Just kneel before the alter dedicated to avbug and move on.

Very professional. You probably don't do much work, either. Truth hurts, doesn't it?

You just received a well-deserved bitch slap from several posters and that's your erudite comeback? D-u-d-e! :laugh:
