I just wish I could talk to all the guys that are letting classes go by for 30 minutes and tell them what it was like when I got out of college in '97 and what the job prospects and hiring world have been like for the past 20 years. How seniority means everything and what your airplane looks like means nothing. I am still in utter amazement to hear things like this, and to try to wrap my mind around how insanely different and good they have it now compared to my disaster of a career thus far.
Good times out there guys and gals, but don't take the important things for granted or discount them. Get in a class and fly the lav service truck if need be!!!!
