And you know what- I think my job IS great. I've worked in offices, in retail, in customs brokerage, at a car dealership, and on a construction crew- none of them came close, even the ones that paid more. I have a lot of freedom that 121 pilots don't, and every week there's something different. Yes, parts of it suck, but I choose to enjoy the upsides, rather than getting bitter about the downsides. You say you were furloughed. Was it better to fly a ****** job like AMF, or try to scrape by selling used cars?
