kinda sounds like aviation.....LOL

of course its all perspective..... sky and some other are always throwing out the way it "use" to be......... and how good pilots then had it....... I know more than a few guys who flew for major carriers for 30 years during those days.... some sat sideways on the panel for nearly 60 percent of their career before going to the right seat and then ...ah the golden ring... the left seat in their last few years with the likes of TWA...PanAmerican....etc...... everybodies path in this business is different. To say that it was better unequivocally back "then" is all based on what you were looking at from your seat.....
