Every couple months somebody has to let loose. I've gained more respect for SkyHigh since I first began visiting this site. My only criticism about his posts are that he seems to believe that nobody "makes it". Over 1000 people have been hired at CAL in the last year and a half. United and NWA could very well be hiring by the end of next year. Not everybody who wants to be major airline pilot will make it. If you start late or make poor decisions, there is a good chance you won't have the career you want, but doesn't this hold true in most professions? Nobody is owed a major job just because they get their commercial ticket.

Skyhigh, from what I understand you knowlingly took a risk to fly at an unproven airline and it didn't work out (I'm sorry if this isn't exactly the case and I'm sure you will correct me if so). It seems you made a poor choice. I guess I would be a little more sympathetic to your cause if you had actually taken the conventional route that you constantly bash.

That being said, I see you in a different and more positive light than I did when I first signed up here. I think you write well, refrain from succombing to name calling or other juvenile tactics and your counterpoints are an asset here.
