I am sorry if my approach was difficult or perhaps offensive but I still believe in my point. I am sure that if asked everyone would claim to be concerned about their passengers but when it comes down to it a healthy self interest serves all aboard. I am not a gloom and doomer but I do not think it is right to be an arrogant public servant either. There are many daily jobs that have a similar risk level or higher and they don't feel the need to pat themselves on the back as much as pilots feel obligated to. Everyday school bus drivers take into their care our children. Nationally accidents happen almost daily and they don't demand 200K salaries for it. Airline Pilots have one of the safest, redundant, monitored and most automated jobs outside of subway drivers and I don't think it is right to be smug about any "Heroics". In fact to me it is far from it.

I know you guys would like to think otherwise but I am very happy. I just have an opposing view to many of you. Some of you would like to interpret that as dissatisfaction but the opposite is true I can assure you.
