Did it make you feel better to try insulting me? Ok here's another try, Why don't we all as pilots stop looking for someone else to blame and take some ownership for ourselves. This ride started years ago and we ALL have a piece of the ownership of where we are today.
We will always be seen by others, by the way we see ourselves, and from yours and skyhighs previous statements, I'm guessing nothing is due to change anytime soon. It's sad really.....

Sky, be honest what have you really done to change anything? (other than make 4,831 posts about how dumb pilots really are to keep flying)
You know, I'm not really sure if its the lack of egos, or the fact that everything is performance based, rather than seniority based, but since I have made the move to the corporate/charter side of aviation, I have noticed a big change in the pride that the pilots take in their jobs and in themselves. I'm not saying things are perfect, but people seem more interested in the job they do. I witnessed a Captain helping an elderly couple unload their bags from their trunk at an FBO with a smile on his face, I dare say, by the pride he takes in his job he does not see himself this way: (referance quote below)

I guess this non sequiter is too long to have been written by someone of average reading comprehension...

sorry to have wasted you time...
