Well yes and no.............by whos standards the obnoxious girl at the bar that is wearing Jimmy Choo's and had a Dolce & Gabbana dress? Success is measured different by everyone, as a whole in this country, if you have money you are successful, no matter how sleazy, but I dont see how anybody that gets a job at a major US airline can't have nice things and be considered a success. I went to a private High School in Jersey and do you know what "success" was to those guys????????????getting a job as banker so they can blow lines all weekend long and cheat on their wives & g/f's and have a Porsche...............some may call that "success" I sure as hell don't.

Sucess is not how much money you have, thats rediculous. Its about being happy with who you are and what you do with your life, maybe experience the joy of raising a child or two and how yo uwill be remembered when your gone. There are plenty of people with lots of $$$ who are nasty people and very unhappy. I wouldnt call that sucessful. I smell gold digging......

SkyHigh, why is your perspective so negative? or are you being more to direct to what new ppl should keep in the back of the mind to what the future looks like? How long have you been in the aviation business? are you in a management role where you feel there's going to be some point where this rapid hiring campaign is going to flood the market sooner or should I say sooner than later. can you please justify it.

Yeah but by who.................................The guy next to you in traffic who wishes he was in your car? I mean really who cares? Now I will say that I wil ldo everything in my power to have as many toys as I can, but thats out of enjoyment of going 0-60 in under 5sec's, or taking my family down to our beach house but to do these things is for me and my family, not to impress people.............hell I use my standard "Im an Airline Pilot" line to do that...........

Thats pretty funny, money is very important to all of us, but its not evreything. Wait until you grow up a little and see things from a different perspective. If you contracted cancer, would money be everything to you? No, all of a sudden all those Guci purses dont mean squat. Or the BMW and your Sea Ray at the marina. You'll figure it out!
