What you give up in trade for the "cubicle" I claim to be inferior to the benefits of a life with financial rewards, friends and family.

An aviation career is a loners paradise. I wish I had someone to tell me and my generation better. If someone wants if more than they can have it. I choose life. Had I known better I would have gone to sell junk bonds. There are better plumbs for the sacrifices to grasp.

In conclusion, you and I are on the same team. You continue to cull those who would choose a lonely cold concrete hotel room over a life with people they know and love while I will continue to warn those who enjoy life and prosperity.
