"You have your own come worship me web site which you promote at the end of each of your posts"

As I have said time after time, it's not MY website. I was asked to write an perspectives article for Jetcareers. It's Doug's website. Check it out. jetcareers.com Lots of successful pilots have written about their paths to the career at the home page. There is the occasional misunderstanding about the link where folks criticize. But for each one of those I get five PM's thanking me for telling my story. Sorry it bothers you guys....

"I'll bet you a dollar I have you summed up. I bet you carry business cards saying "Captain Joe Blow...UPS"

You owe me a dollar. My card has a pic of my plane on it and it says "free rides for kids brave enough to ask". Ever heard of the EAA Young Eagles program? Great fun.

"I'm amazed as a moderator you don't realize you come into this forum and criticize the participants for voicing their experiences it was created for."

Criticize? Is that what you call it? I call it debate. You know, that's where you give your opinion and I give mine. For example, Skyhigh has his opinion based on his experience. I have mine based on my experience. You don't want to allow debate just because it's the "leaving the career forum"? I don't think that's what APC is all about.

"Why should he bother since your just going to do your standard criticism of any occupation other than flying"

Family care. Sounds like a possible option for those thinking of leaving the career. I don't know much about it but it might be something worth looking into. Maybe CGdaddy would like to tell APC a bit more about how to leave flying and get into that biz.

Oh, and one more thing. I don't mean to brag about pay. Tony Montana said this:

"Wanna know what makes me feel better? I'm set to make north of 300K this year, and home every night. Come up with something aviation related that can match that-then you'll have some cred w/me- 'till then-"

I was simply answering his question....
