Going with the flow is always more relaxing. Making decisions without really knowing anything sucks. Unfortunately planning an airline career requires less of the former and more of the latter. I always appreciate the successful pilots who admit it was mostly because of luck because it probably was.

However, speculating and bouncing ideas off each other is our best hope of making decent plans to advance our careers. I hope your relax and do nothing strategy works for you; I wish you no ill will despite your insults.
