You have the right to be as cheerful as you want, but be careful about telling me how I'm supposed to feel about my career when you have zero idea what it's like.
By the way, I'd lose the goatee.
Dont Complain after a sixteen hour day in bad weather with a plane with half a dozen deferrals. Oh and today is the eighth holiday weekend you've worked in a row and everyone in your family reminds you but it doesn't matter since scheduling constantly moves your days off and you cant make plans on those days either. Now after your sixteen hour day...get to your hotel and let your wife call you and tell you that you don't have enough for rent this month and your three months behind on your student loans. You're dying to get home to see your wife and away from this jerk of a captain but you can't...after your reduced rest overnite you have to double Deadhead to start another two day trip. Meanwhile your four day trip just credited you about fourteen hours for fifty five hours of duty. Oh and did I mention you've been hearing rumors of furlough at your company. None of this is atypical. Its very typical.
