Now you place your future in the hands of corporate executives.

I don't want to move away from my home.

What...do you sell Amway on the phone?

I don't want to be gone from my family for more than half the year.

I'm home more hours than the overwhelming majority of 8-5 cubicle monkeys, often for well over a month straight 24/7.

I don't like being poor.

Trust me... I'm not.

I don't like being disrespected and treated like filth by my employer.

I can only imagine what your employer thinks of you...unless you work for yourself, and that's even worse in your case.

I don't believe that the typical airline career can lead to future prosperity.

Hell...you think the world is ending tomorrow.

And lastly I do not have any faith that this industry will do anything other than continue down hill. The success stories of today will be the hard luck cases of tomorrow. I am sorry if you guys don't have the same perspective as I. I am different. I measure what had been lost against what is yet to be gained. After all the sacrifices, moves, pain and losses in the end it is only a job and a poor one at that.

Then go back to cubiclemonkey.com and leave those of us with the balls to make it work alone.

The path to a successful airline career leads to the destruction of everything else.

Proudly Different,
