To all, thank you.
Preludespeeder, May I just re-ask you the original question that entitles this thread.....
So, do YOU want to be an airline pilot?
By the way, I'm starting a 4-day trip tomorrow that will have me enjoying a 4-Points Sheraton for Christmas, so atleast the company doesn't always skimp on the hotels.
I wish you all a very happy Holiday Season.
