I have lived most of my life considering what I would do if the world, as I knew it, went to hell. After many years of wasteful worry and trying to apply logic to folks that exist without it, I have chosen to live until I die. My realm of expertise is within the walls of a simulator, cockpit, or bathroom stall (excluding MSP). Outside of those locales, my opinion, thoughts, judgements are futile and my efforts to rearrange things are a distraction from my family and my time which are too important to sacrifice.

My backup will be decided when the need arises to have one. As a result of being poor for the first ten years of my aviation journey, my default emotion is worry and strategic planning. Given our environment and the state of ethics in this country, I will continue to enjoy myself, responsibly, until the status quo changes. I have turned FNC, MSNBC, and CNN off. My television experience is now relegated to Little Bear, Franklin, or the Wiggles. Life is too short to give a %#$@ about matters that do not require your input or consideration. They will be what they will be.

Don't spend money like you're in the NBA, save a little, invest a little, and enjoy your life. The circumstances surrounding GoJets, Freedom, Skybus, Virgin, etc......who cares? What will you do about it if you have the opportunity? My guess is little. Life is full of choices; so let people make them and therefore, live with them.

Dude...

That's great advice! I agree, turn off the TV, and all is well.

On a serious note, I have been brushing up on my strip club announcer lines. Here is what I have so far:

"Guys, put your hands together, and give it up for Tabatha"

"Each, and everyone of these ladies is available for your very own fantasy dance"

"These girls work for tips, and tips alone"

"Guys remember the touch, and go policy is in effect...You touch, you go"

Maybe. How's your primary "pro bono F&H" job?





Amazing....

So you advocate your jobs being eliminated based on free market forces. You don't mind starting over as many times as the free market can recycle you.

And when you get laid off again and again, you want nothing from gov't. No job retraining, no loans, nothing...

Being an Air Line Pilot is not an asset to our nations economy? You like be equated to a hotel maid.

Hey Rez, out of curiosity, have you ever been furloughed?

Jimcav, I'm right there with you man! You've got the right idea!

Wow!

This isn't even close to 9/12/01 and the next few years after that.

Get back to us after 3 years... I think you will find that you were mistaken..... The industry has never seen oil do anything like this-until it stabilizes, all bets are off.

-This will do very bad damage if it lasts long

Fair enough, not fun huh? Even tough I disagree with some things you say it's hard to criticize another Jetsteam guy!:beer:

As to the backup plans, let me say backup careers suck. I've done it and do not want to do it again. Even with a quality college education, good jobs are hard to find. Mine was in finance, not the money you'd expect. Plus a lot of paper pushing, although I was home every night.

Nope. This is worse. And I'm saying that without being furloughed or out of business yet.
