Pilotpip, couldn't agree with you more. If something isn't going the way you would like it to, before you start complaining, ask yourself, "what have I done to improve this situation?" If the answer is "nothing", then I recommend you stop complaining and start taking the initiative to improve things. Too often we sit back and complain and expect others to fix our problems for us. Look at the Katrina disaster. You would have thought that people were completely helpless there. Complaining the gov't wasn't giving them enough money, or help, or folding their laundry for them. Anyways, I say support others' dreams and good will come back to you, regardless of what happens to them. The complaining I read on these forums can be summed up in one word..."Pollution". That is all it does to help the aviation industry by polluting communication channels like APC Forums with complaints and envious bashing of other peoples endeavors.
