It really is what you make of it.
The glamour is gone. The big paychecks, job security, and generous retirements are like Willy Wonka Golden Tickets.
But I still enjoy it, I try to make the trips and layovers better.
Anyone have a blender....I see margaritas in my future.
Live slow..Fli Fast
ps. Slice, Crack kills !!
Thats my point, all the heartache and BS, that has to have made a pretty big impact on your life? You seem to be in a great spot at UPS, but lets face it, not everyone will be as fortunate.
Again I am not saying I deserve the right seat of a 75 over at CAL becuase I have been doing this for 3years, but an 1st year airline pilot should be making over 50,000.00 a year, especially at the major airline level.
1st year pay is crime, the airline has to to train you, so they hack your pay for the first year????????????? ITS THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS , but like ticket prices its never passed on to the consumer, the employee ends up getting raped.
I am looking forward to seeing what CAL pilots do with 1st year pay & health insurance, I hope it changes because its disgraceful as it stands......
