Not a troll post, but good to hear.
Everyone who has a problem with me not naming names, please understand the position I'm in: I'm not in the airline industry yet. I'm a CFI, paying my dues and living on $10/hr just like everyone else did. All I'm looking for is confirmation from people currently in the industry about whether what I heard is true or not. That simple. Just trying to be careful with what I post on a public forum, that's all.
