I decided to bid that because it paid 5 bucks an hour more than I was making on the E 120. E120, F150, what's the difference? I guess Goose was right, should have gone to that Diesel Truck Driving academy and got my CDL. That would have made the lost decade a bit more profitable.

The CP didn't see the humor in it. Turns out, even express or commuter airlines need scope protection too.

Once you cave, you might as well just pay for your funeral up front. Get that nice Jazzy second line arranged and be ready for your family and friends to pass a real good time. Scope Relief for management is simply one to the head and two to the chest for the airline profession.

Many still recovering from the lost decade. Hell no on scope relief.
I wouldn't be quite so quick on that truck driving school. With all these self driving cars, how long do you think it will take the truck owners to figure out they won't have to pay drivers anymore? Long haul trucking WILL be going away as a job in the next decade or so.

Goose is still dead, sorry.
