Skyhigh...A military pilot isn't just handed their wings...My brother was a Marine Fighter pilot...A-6's, F-18's, A-4's...I know what he went through to get those "Wings"...Probably something you nor I could have endured. Is he a better pilot then me?...I'll tell you no...lol...But just because the Military guy/gal has a straighter path to a more stable income fly'n gig doesn't mean it's handed to them. Am I bitter for all those military guys that get hired at FedEx?, when I have more time as an aircraft commander flying the DC-10 all over the world then most have in total flying time...No...lol...I thinks it's funny...But then again I make more money away from aviation....My advice to anyone and everyone...Enjoy flying for what it is...But get rich doing something else....So stop picking on those pilots that are lucky enough to have an opportunity to make flying career...Karma dude, karma...The big bad circle come'ith around...lol Life gives you what you really feel inside...And if it's doom and gloom...Then the clouds will not part for you my clipped wing friend....Cheers
