So SAAB, you don't like charter, don't like 7 on 7 off, don't like night flying and you don't like 121 as a whole. Ya know man I don't like the sight of blood, working 48 hrs straight, dealing with unscrupulous HMO's and working the ER for years on end as a resident........THATS WHY I DIDN'T BECOME A DOCTOR!!!!!!
Good for you

As professional pilot you can make 1/10th of a Doctor's salary...
On the side note, SAAB is at least aware of how crappy this industry has become and is trying to do something about. But it's a hard fight if some people that he is trying to fight for tell him that he's "crying".
I have an idea for all the guys that always tell others to "suck it up". Maybe with the hard times ahead we should all help out our wonderful management and ask for another pay cut, after all it's not like we fly for the money. Let's suck it up and help our lines survive because we just love flying so much, more than money and stability in life. (that's based on some of previous posts)
