Don't treat me like I have my head stuck in the sand.....I am currently flying corporate so don't tell me about sitting around and twiddling your thumbs...that is all we do. And yes, I have had hotel screw ups and car screw ups...lord knows any airplane will break sooner or later so don't act like it is just something new. All I am saying is for the life of me why do any of you that seem like you hate your job keep doing it. Yes it is food on the table but you can go get a corporate job that is at least a little better. Or like I said you can go fly freight where you don't have to deal with anyone. I am going to drop this line of conversation because it is a no win situation. I wish all of you luck in what you are doing and for any of you that work for ASA, if I get hired I look forward to working with you. CHEERS
Just trying to enlighten you as to the airline side of professional aviation. For the most part I love my job and flying airplanes. How many other jobs do you get kids poking their heads into your office with a grin ear to ear wanting to have their picture taken in your chair? But there also days when I seriously ask myself "what the ******* am I doing here?" For me, the good days far out number the bad which I'm sure is a function of attitude, an ability to be flexible and the willingness of the important people in your life to be flexible. Not trying sh!t in your cheerios, just telling it like it is.
