Basically, I live a good clean life, no criminal record, and I spend as much time as I can with family and friends when I'm not working my job or taking care of my home. That's how I contribute to society.
So since I don't do volunteer work, this makes me less of a pilot and unable to get hired by a major? Is being a SJW now a prerequisite for getting hired? If it is, this industry in a sad state of affairs.
