Last night I watched the movie "Cast Away" with Tom Hanks. It reminded me of my big aviation dream. It was to be working for a company that treated me with respect, generosity and also valued my services. I loved flying and what a better dream it was then to be doing something I loved for a company I loved just as much.

Towards the end of the movie Tom Hanks is celebrated through a huge company sponsored party. Eventually he is lead into what appears to be a well stocked pilot lounge with food games, TV's and comfortable furniture. What a life it must be. All I ever received from my employers was a kick to the crotch every time I opened my pay check and a dingy crowded pilot lounge with an old TV in rabbit ears and free phone calls to the suicide hot line.

I wonder if the dream really does exsist?
