As a hobby pilot you probably can not relate to the pain those who are resting their entire financial hopes on this ill fated career are experiencing.

Can you imagine a "hobby M.D.", who had to work on his days off at Wal-Mart just to be able to feed his family? Compare airlines in the Glory Days to the airlines now-it's disgraceful and embarrasing.
Flying a Pitts for fun is my hobby now-quality of life and pay is exponentially better.
