Sky, I'm convinced that despite your (mostly) negative opinions, you'd still like to be an airline pilot.
Sure that is no secret. I would still like to be an airline pilot, but not for peanuts and not as an indentured servant.

I also would like to get paid a surgeons salary to play Call to Duty 4.

Ya know the opposite of love is not hate it is indifference. I love flying still and always will. I just hate what it can do to your life.

Serious question, has anyone ever used the flexablity of airline schedules to work on the weekend (3-4 day trips) and then go to school during the week? If so, what degree did you go out and get?
