From a former regional pilot, why do so many people that hate flying continue flying?

Why do so many who hate their marriages stay married? They do it for the kids. And they don't want to pay alimony/child support.
 
i thought thats why the dinosaurs died out..at least thats what my teacher told me

Come on guys...

Why do you have to treat women as objects?

Jeez...


Because they stand me up when I arrange to meet them at the bar.
Because they see me only an object.
Because they are unfaithful on the whole.
Because the ones who want to be seen as objects dont hide it at all.
Because I hate Carbondale, Illinois.
Because I have nothing better to do.

Just a few reasons...
 
because they would be unhappy no matter what they did, and flying airplanes in the most fun they can have while being unhappy.
 
Dang fine question. I've never understood it either. Its certainly not for the awesome pay and great hours. Unless you really like it... why put up with it?
 
Because they get bored and like to b!tch. That covers about 90% of it I think...

Hmmm... how do I say this? It might be time to seek professional help.:D

I suspect there are only a few that really "hate" flying. Pilots, in general, tend to whine a lot, but that kind of comes with the territory. We are stuck, for hours, with someone we probably don't know and have to find something to talk about, or go insane. The one thing we are guaranteed to have in common with our colleague is "the company". It's not very interesting conversation to talk about everything you like about the company ("scheduling is so nice, they gave me a three hour call-out this morning, it was quite relaxing"), so we tend to whine about what we don't like ("those 'so-and-so's' expect me to wake up at 4:00 am!"). The impression is that there are a lot of guys who don't like their job. I catch myself being very negative from time to time and try to step back and look at the big picture or just change the subject.
 
Women will complain regardless. They need to fulfill their script and affirm their preconceived notion that life will not be a fairy tale.

Well, in general, it seems to me that women want life to be a fairy tale. Women, in general, do not want things like logic, reason, and clarity. Instead, they seek things like emotions, 'suppport', and 'sisterhood'. Note, none of these things that women seek help to propogate or advance the human species.

Women are, in general, only good for one thing.
