A very knowledgable ER friend of mine once did a pay analysis and determined that if we worked for tips only, we would fare much better. This of course was predicated on the public understanding that we make no salary at all and rely on tips alone. The results were actually amusing, but on the other hand sobering. The correlation between a restaurant waiter and us was actually a bit sickening.
Increased Levity Commentary: As far as my avatar: My picture is unflattering and not a true reflection of my actual weight. Yes, I was forced to leave the Navy because I could no longer be lifted or propelled by the ejection seat, but my thoughts were, why not just get bigger rockets on the ejection seats. After all, the airlines are forced to provide a means for us "weight challenged" individuals. Why not the military? I simply do not understand why the F-22 Raptor and F/A 18 Super Hornet cockpits cannot be completely redesigned to accomodate my additional donut load. They could call it the Raptor Gross or the Super Hornet Gross. Just a thought. My over bearing and over weight lawsuits are now on file and should soon allow 1000 pounders to at last patrol the Iraqi skies for bad guys. By the way, you can call me fat, and you can call me a bas*%d, but you don't have to call me a fat bas%$d.
Nice Earnhardt 3 on there.
I've got a buddy who flies helicopters in the Army and he posted on FB a picture of another pilot in uniform that would make your jaw drop. I won't post it.
But I will say if they ever put weight restrictions in for Part 121 then there will almost 0% movement at Delta (you skinny %#@$% workout-holics) although I might be moved out
but the bottom guys at CAL will shoot straight up the list- especially in IAH where I learned that a cellphone on a belt could ride parallel to the ground.
