"Seems to me that you have missed out on much of what I write about"

So has everybody else I know. Your story is very much in the minority though you want people to believe the opposite. I honestly don't know anyone who has suffered your fate to the degree you seem to suffer it. Seem's like a guy who doesn't consider Southwest a worthy piloting career might have his sights set a tad high?

I've been furloughed, got a bad recommendation, left the career for a job in ATC, been on strike, and been unemployed or otherwise between jobs three or four times. All of that in no particular order.

You can think I was handed it all on a silver platter if it makes you happy. I could care less...
