"Pilots are on here whining and crying about their pay, pension and God forbid they might even have to work for a living. But they have in fact just become bus drivers (same lousy attitude and service)."

You may have a point about customer service but the above quote gives you less credibility. I take exception to all points in this quote. If your concern is customer service, what should you care about what is posted on this board?! If you think spending 18 days a month away from home is not having to work for a living, I suggest you rethink your idea going of work.

It sounds like you have no clue what the qualifications are to be a major airline pilot. If we are just bus drivers now, I guess my airline will start hiring from greyhound if and when they start hiring again. Oh wait, they require a college degree, a special license granted by the FAA, a medical exam every six months, specialized training etc.....I could go on and on......We can all see how this profession has lost its over all respect by the public from this quote. It's kinda sad.

It sounds like you are accusing all pilots of being a bunch of lazy, good for nothing whinners. You are painting with an awfully broad brush there (just like I did in the last paragraph) and yes, I do take offense at that characterization.

Sure would like to know what you do for a living so I can take a swipe at your chosen group.

Oh well, guess this flamebait got a rise out of me!!
