Sky I enjoy your posts much can be learned from the experiences of others. Whether that means you hang it up altogether or simply try a different angle. I'm still sticking with it and I take no offense to your comments. Gotta hand it to ups on that last one though.
When are you going to write a book?

Guys, being a pilot suck because every job sucks
Iīm a lawyer. Iīm not even in aviation, and guess what? Being a lawyer sucks. You know?
Even if you are a prostitute, which is a person who basically has sex all day for money, you are going to think that being a ***** sucks. Because itīs work. Everything that is involved with work, somehow sucks. Thatīs the truth of it.
That being said, for those that are pilots, try to remember, that you do something that is different and appreciated, and that people depend on you. Thatīs the upside of work. Thatīs where you need to focus on.
Of course, for most people, that want to have kids and settle down, this or any other career that involves a lot of travelling and being away from home will going to suck a bit more. And I understand that.
So, kids who are reading this, try thinking about that before going to become pilots ok?

A plumber will not show up to work for for peanut wages and bad treatment. The mailman will stop coming if the government was to cut their wages in half. Pilots however will take a huge beating and keep on coming. It is what makes out profession different and why our jobs stink and we go home to unpaid bills to boot.

There are other field of aviation that doesn't suck and is very demanding. I choice the field of agriculture flying. Aerial applicating is a very rewarding field in which you only work during the summers. It is a high demanding jobs that pays well.

Dang you capt. Carl. I opened this thread and saw the date. I read every post with the anticipation of posting "Holy old thread batman" once I reached the end. As I got closer and closer to the end, the excitement built. You, sir, have ruined my night.
