They sleep perfectly fine. It's not about how much money they have. It's about how much they can get every single day to add to the pile.

It is what it is. They are just businessmen trying to do what's best for them and their shareholders. Nothing wrong with that.

Kind of like some people trying to jump the line and go straight into the RHS of a jet. Some people would see something wrong with that; and for others it is fine. I'm sure you never lost any sleep when you enrolled in the CAPT program and tried to jump the line ahead of hard working CFI's that paid their dues.

Capitalism in full force my friends.

Look, this economy is set up for anyone to make a lot of money if that's the goal. You may not be doing what you want, but that's the reality in any job anymore.

Still having a hard time telling the difference between apples and oranges eh? Don't sweat it. It's a common problem with low IQ people like yourself.

But don't you worry your little heart. I'm in the CFI world trying to keep people out of the airline industry. You know, so that you can sleep better at night.

Absolutely. There is a way to make money and not **** over people in the process.

Wow, I struck a nerve. Sorry buddy, didn't know you got offended so easily....
Actually, my comparison is apples to apples. See you, just like management, were looking out for your best interest. Screw the other guys right, you were gonna spend 100k to beat them to the right hand seat.
By the way, you know what they say about people living in glass houses and throwing stones right???
I may have a low IQ ,but it wasn't so low as to sign up and spend six figures on the CAPT program , for a commercial cert....
