Looks like I missed yer point... and yup! I agree that it is too late to go back (and become a plumber like my dad told me to). In the end though, I will continue to climb on my soap box every time I hear the pilot on pilot domestic violence. While everyone knows my company is better than all of yours, I don't feel the need to beat other pilots over the head with that fact (hey, where is that "tongue in cheek" smiley?). I can't stand my ALPA, but I am aware of the fact that with or without those bozos who are so well paid to not fly, we line jokers need to not beat each other up. I am loving some of the great posts in the UAL/CAL merger folder, where people from both sides are telling the few vocal idiots on both sides that we need to all stand strong together.

The only thing left for me at my current position is that I still enjoy the time from "flight deck door locked" to "After Landing checklist". If we are jerks to each other, management will have taken that away as well.


Or... if I weren't so verbose, I could have just said...
Hey, can't we all jus' get along?
