Super Captain America,
Speaking of laughable. You care to bring up asking me 3 times about my career yet you still won't address our questions about how a reserve captain makes $308,000. (You've been asked at least 3 times, right?)
We aren't asking for a W2, just explain how it's done. Come on, do it for all the young folks who are so eager to learn from your expertise. I know you want to be a killer role model. Let us know, I triple dog dare you.
I don't owe you a dollar, you have a card, right? I went 17 years without a business card, why does a pilot even need one? I never understood that.
And I bet you wear that hat to bed even don't you, admit it, you love it. Look in the mirror and you think "darn I look good in brown." And I bet you really do introduce yourself as captain, right?
What I found is the pilots with inflated egos were hands and away the most difficult to get along with. And in most cases aviation was their life. They either didn't have a family or could care less about the one they had and that airline was their life. They never could comprehend how your outside life, friends and family could mean more than those almighty airplanes. Here's another dollar Captain America, with no family this aviation thing is your life and you just can't fathom some pilots, or ex-pilots, who don't breath it 24-7-365. Right?
As for the great pay, you'll forgive us for not worshiping your position. You see, the seat is all a determination of when you get hired, that's it, exclusively. And what you make and who you work for means nothing to me. In terms of aviation, how you treat your co-worker and crew means absolutely everything.
The pilots of an RJ flying on the east coast are every bit the pilot you are super captain even though they make 1/10 (or is it like 1/7, still don't know) the pay. They learn hydraulics, flight controls, electrical. They deal with ATC, slick runways, thunderstorms, passengers and fly a modern jet with FMC technology. And they do it all for far less pay and they do it just as well. And I bet they fly like 900 or even 1000 hours a year, not 100. They really have to work.
So your bragging about pay and what a great pilot you are means nothing to me and most of us. Those kids getting done in the same system have far more respect from me than you and they do it humbly.
Back to your worship me web site, boy that gave me a laugh, what a deflection. You were asked to do it and therefore you feel it's necessary to put the link at the bottom of every post? Oh that's precious. (I bet the web page link is on your business card too, right?) Oh you're such a champion, serving humanity. You actually made my belly busting laugh for the day with that one, thanks.
I wonder if UPS has a no fly list, (my second good laugh for the day.)
