That and flying Cessna's is alot of fun, flying a jet must be even better.

Thanks, so it is not us suffering from being "reality challenged".
It's those who run after empty promises, go overboard on debt and work for nothing just to keep it that way?
Wow, I'm still in awe about the 108K Sully supposedly makes. I though with his experience and long term commitment he would have hit at least 180-200K if not more. $108K is an insult!
I know Mechanics who top that. And they don't have a chance to kill 155 people everytime they screw something up.
