WTF? Lakes starts at $14,000 now? Holy schitt, when I started at Lakes I only made $10,000. That's bullschitt!

and that was only 10 years ago.

Wheels Update

So what is the latest at WU? How many pilots on staff now and how many 350's are on the certificate? How is the schedule (if any) and how are the line checks going?

Are they still hiring?

Thanks.

" I don't know what yip says to his significant other...but my wife hands me a hot cup of coffee, makes sure my fly is up, and encourages me to "bring home the bacon"...I drive off and look forward to making her happy, spending time with co-workers, and doing a good job earning my pay."

Right on gret. You and I are usually on opposite sides but not this time. My Dad told me when I was kid "Find a job you love and you won't have to work for a living". I have had some bumps in my career, but, overall, it was pretty good. What bothered me some was that I would fly with guys who looked at it as nothing but a job (work). They were never happy. And I am talking about FOs at Delta who made 100k+ and were looking at a 10 year upgrade and 20+ years of Capt at 150-200+. Go figure.

And a lot of them post here on a regular basis telling us how miserable they are. Life is too short to be that unhappy when you have the ability to make yourself happy at all times. There is an up side to everything. Still living a childhood dream. Not that I though I would end up at KYIP, but it has been a ball and I would change very little. I count myself as truly lucky.

After 11 jobs since leaving the Navy, I have adopted another slogan, "Expect nothing and you will never be disappointed? I know it sounds like having no drive, ambition or goals, but that is not the case. There is so much in this business you have absolutely no control over, these effect your job. To fret unnecessarily over those things causes ulcers, it is not worth it. Getting depressed over stupid things that you have no control over is not worth it. By expecting nothing, it will always be better than nothing. Life is a ball.

You Are clearly a old fart that's outta touch with reality. This isn't 1962 but guys like you will never get it. And all the facts in the world will never get thru your thick skull. Keep living in your happy little life dragging the rest of your fellow pilots down. And by the way they don't enjoy hanging out with you at the airport with there little airplanes. They talk about you behind your back about how you need to retire and how your nothing but a old fart blow hard..
