Yes, everyone got it.
Funny thing was that it had your name in the pop up. I bet everyone had a moment with that.

Which rumor? There are so many!

You just work on saying Yes, and everything else will work itself out!

Do you know many lawyers or doctors? Trade sorties about your training vs. that of any US-trained physician's (~7-15 years of virtual slave labor AFTER completing college and competing/testing for the privilege) and you may decide not to compare your profession and pay rates to theirs.

That is not the usual 9-5 job, and that's without even considering the training/certificates and skills/experience required, in addition to the consequences of mistakes or poor judgement which put the responsibilities of the profession at the highest tier: those vocations that can result in death of the employee and customers, in addition to possible equipment loss (airplane) and possible property damage.
Better just ignore our active military members if we want to make a case along these lines...

We didn't get them because you can't make money with 777's. They won't "fit" into our network. At least when we fly them. Don't you know?
