I agree with DE(and that has not always been the case), a true believer no matter what knowledge they possess will do it no matter what. I also think DE is right, Sky you might want to go over to JC and post to the newbies that would actually benefit from your +20yrs of professional flying experience. They're the ones that would benefit from some of the harsh realities of professional flying that a newbie is not exposed to in the flashy ads from places like ATP, etc.

For the most part I agree with most of Sky's comments, but sometimes it does get overly negative. I know plenty of my friends that are happy with their careers in aviation no matter what the setbacks they've suffered. My experience was different than theirs so were my priorities, hence they are willing to put up with certain aspects of the job I'm not. More power to those who do. Either way I think we can all agree that we'd all like to see improvements in the industry for the betterment of the pilot group.
