my wife was a DC3 FO for her first gig,then an EMB110 FO flying Pt135 on demand freight through a Michigan winter, then came COEX, captain on the ATR,and the Embraer 135/145 , before snagging SWA , and oh yeah she flies airshows on the B25, and you better believe I'm bragging on her, I am very proud of her. No whining allowed if you win the birth lottery and are born in this country, we all start on third base compared to much of the world here. end of rave.
