I'm just your low time student pilot right now with a dream to become an airline pilot later down the road. I will become a professional pilot some how be it flying a piper warrior or a cessna 172. I don't care! I'm determined.
But I want to ask the guys who are already in the seats that I want to hopefully fill one day. Its depressing to read all this stuff on the airlines on the verge of collapsing, the regional and fractional pilots going at it with the mainline major pilots. I remember when I was little going up to that flight deck and going I want to sit in ATLEAST one of these seats one day for a living. I didn't think these men and woman were greedy, or selfish. I read all this stuff about the ALPA disputes etc. I looked up to these people ask for them for advice continually. Unfortenately the two I talk to on a regular basis are unemployed. Why becasue of this idiots that had to make a point by slamming our beautiful aircrafts full of innocent people into some buildings.
What I'm trying to get at is, please ladies and gents look at those who look up to YOU and admire you becasue you are a pilot like me. I've dreamed all my life to fly a DC-10 and I'm on my way there but almost everyday I read all this stuff about pilots bickering over pay etc. I thought most of the pilots that flew for the airlines fly becasue they love to, not for the money. Everyday my dream erodes just a little bit becasue I see all this nonsense and confusing union stuff. Please for us little guys just work this out.
Sorry if the spelling is off but honestly I started to get a little emotional writing this post.
