And why is that? If someone starts a career in any industry, don't you think they no what the hell is going on? If not, they don't need to be in the right seat of a multimillion dollar RJ. Do you honestly believe that someone starting from scratch will be so clueless as not to see what is going on in the industry.

To those of you taking Skyhigh's laments to heart, if you read some of his past posts, you will see he made some very narrow career choices. And that's by your own admission Skyhigh. You set your sights on one area of the country, one major airline and ignored other east coast options.

So again, here we go with your bashing of a career that has been fantastic over the years for thousands. So Skyhigh, since you love camping so much, perhaps you should find a nice camping forum. But maybe there is some chucklehead there that wants to tell you how dangerous camping is, how some bear attacked and killed several, or someone got caught in a brushfire, or an alligator took someone's leg off and that camping just plain dumb for anyone to try because they got a bad case of poison ivy. Or maybe you should find a forum about the dangers of driving and you should convince folks not to get a driver's license because of all the carnage on the roads these days, hey over 50,000 dead a year. Wow, maybe we should all remove ourselves from the roads. In your words, "somebody has to tell the story". What a whinner, geez.
