What do you Love about this job?

[norskman2]

I love being able to fly through white clouds for which people could only dream about dancing on.
I love being able to chase the sun as it sets only to greet it as it rises in morning.

Justino,

You're a F#&@^&*-ing poet, man! Excuse me, I think I got something in my eye....I love you, man!

I love running to the gate and watching my last chance to commute home start to push...

I love when my days off get moved...

I love when my pager goes off...

I love when I am home and a 1000 miles away from work and I hear someone elses pager and I think skeds just tagged me again...

I love when I see my paycheck and remember making more in one night bartending in college...

I love when new seniority list are posted and the net change for one year is less than 1%...

I love being in a sh1thole bar in alabama at 1am killing time and drinking beers with three other misguided aviation professionals when an impromptu "most trashy girl wins $100 contest begins"...wait, I really did love that one...

For those that know me, I am actually one of the more postive people in this crazy industry, I just thought this post needed some levity. Bottom line, I don't care how much you "love flyin", regional airlines will chew you up and spit you out, and then chew you up again, and then skeds will page you, and then...

"What I love about this job is driving to the airport and knowing that most of the people that you pass on the freeway are driving to jobs that they hate." Bank Account,
This is a great way to look at things.

Stay seated...that was funny.

What I love is:

Breaking through an overcast layer and seeing the sun

Breaking out at minimums after hand flying an approach

Being able to show up at work and not having to see your boss unless you fu$&ed something up

There are so many other things I love but it is almost 2am and I am going to sleep.....Good nite y'all

I love the views

in flight; of weather and scenery, some beautiful vistas not visible from the ground.

in the terminals; of the fly honeys and multitudes of fine chicks strollin about, beautiful creatures that seem to be everywhere in airports.

The sight of the dull, chemical haze encrusted lights of my domicile receeding in my rear view mirror, knowing I will not have to return and drag ungrateful toads back and forth to their trailer park existance and listen to this type of $hit from kool aid drinking booger eaters. Howz that for a run on?
Read it real fast, twice. I gotta go work at my second job to pay my bills, at least that pays enough to make it worth while! Drone on koolaid drinkers.

The best part of my job is coming home to my wife.

Getting released.....it's like having a snow day at school!

Well said, PBR. Absolute poetry...almost brought a tear to my eye (from laughing so f'in hard).

I Love the Kool-Aide!

Thanks to everyone who replied to this one. I got about the kind of responses I expected. Every one of them were quite entertaining and brought a smile to my face.

The End....

We get Kool-Aide? Why is it I'm always the last to get anything for free? Well except that free shot at the clinic.

And to all a Groovy Night
