Wouldn't the world be a wonderful place if it conformed to the way each one of us wants it to be ?

It was for many in the 60's with a little help.

Sadly, for the rest of us now, it isn't and will never be. So continue to look out your cockpit windows and note reality exerting itself more every day. Becoming an airline pilot nowadays is a sure ticket to frustration, helplessness and disappointment.

If you want to avoid that trio of reality, get into management or step back to '67 and give yourself a little help.
