I've been flying the "mission for decades. The target has changed, whether fire in Montana, medical supplies in africa, assignments in Iraq and Afghanistan, Cargo to Louisville and Memphis both, and emergency medical flights in the dead of night for burn victims. I don't do this job for the "mission," but it's very integral to what I do.

I never entered flying to do the least amount of work, and I never have. I never want to. I began flying because I want to fly. That hasn't changed. If you don't want to fly and will do anything you can to avoid it, so be it. Clearly you look down your nose at those who don't share your aspiration, which is unfortunate for you.
