I actully think IROC made a great point with the ditch digger.
If i said I was gonna pay you the same amount of money to either dig a ditch or fly a plane what would you rather do?
Unfortunately i am seeing this field attract more and more people who come from less fortunate backgrounds and therefore are willing to accept that same lifestyle because they get to fly a plane. Like that thread SAAB started a couple weeks ago about the appearance of pilots. I remember flying back in the day and never once (that i remember) did I see a pilot in the airport who looked anything less than first class. Now i see porky rollin around with the back of their shirt untucked looking like they just rolled out of bed, its sad to see!
