Have fun building homes or whatever you want people to think you do.
It amazes me how many people have lost control of there lives to the point of hopelessness. They come together on this forum, as a last resort, to find the few who really care. I, for one, don't care. I paid my dues like all the rest (CFI, 135). It cost me the same amount of time and money as any other 121 pilot. You don't like what's going on, call your union. That doesn't work, put up with it or quit (that is my attitude, no one is holding a gun to your head). I don't care what you think of me. Diapers...highschool..and all the trash talking...cute. It really explains why those crying on there computer keyboards over the injustice, post what they do...professional.
"You are a voyeur playing airline pilot while professional pilots are facing financial annihilation."
Really...? Annihilation...I can't stop laughing at this!!!
Then all you "professional pilots" quit, step aside so this "voyeur pilot" can get ANNIHILATED!!!!!!!! I want your job so work hard or quit. So many guys/girls who really want to be here, will take it too...don't worry.
Yep that attitude is whats ruining this profession!!! That's how we all got hired, with that attitude, or did ya forget about those days?
Whatever...you see it's this chronic attitude that prevails in all the sad individuals that bash this industry through these forums that overflows into alls aspects of their lives.
Financial problems, divorce, their kids hate them.....it's not the job that makes the man. Not an "Airline Pilot" ...either...
The difference is expectations. I expected to make a better living than if I hadn't tried at all. I like flying but not enough to do it for free or for less than humanly livable conditions. I also will not throw my life away on a thin promise of a better future.
It sounds like you are financially well off. Perhaps your wife is rich or you made a bundle on your businesses. Most pilots bet their entire financial lives on this dead end. I hope you can understand why they are so upset.
So go on. The airlines love guys like you. They like to hire retired military, policemen, firefighters and financially independent people. They go home with a smile on their faces while the rest return to unpaid bills and a financially unfulfilled life.
Hobby pilots and second career guys are a huge part of the undermining of the profession. Why do they care about union actions? In every new hire class there are a few hobby guys who are diluting the seniority list. In time I am sure that most new hires will be either fat old retired guys or high school kids since they are the only two groups who can afford to live on the wages being offered.
One day I hope to return to flying as a hobby pilot too however I will have more sensitivity to those who are trying in vein to make a living at it.
