USMCFLYR,


Don't be confused. You've got it straight.


Some people feel like they're entitled to be International wide-body Captains at Age 40, and the proliferation of baby jets that hire 200-hour wonders feeds that myth. THAT is not reality.

It takes persistance -- sticktuitiveness -- that means guttin' it out when times are hard the same as enjoying the benefits when times are good. There have been furloughs and airline failures in the past, and there will be the same in the future. Some people hung in there and plucked the grapes off the vine. Others didn't reach the grapes, and now all they can do is whine.


They made their choices, but they can't make yours. I think you've got the character and desire to make it -- Semper Fi.
