Really? Sure beats my alternative. 41 years at the Big D is way better than 41 years doing drywall. Grandpa ran a drywall company. My dad took it over. I was next in line. I prefer clean boogers, not the white dusty crap I used to get sanding a whole apartment complex. I hope this kid enjoys a nice long healthy career....and appreciates what he/she has.
Sometimes we just need to look out the cockpit window and look at the worker bees below us. Whether you are flying a Gulfstream, 777 or the Mighty Maddog, we do have a better job than the grunts.
I guess I'm a glass half full guy...
