Why such animosity toward non-CFI or cargo guys? I was never a CFI, I never flew for any cargo company. I did fly for a DZ and still do, before I got hired at Comair. What exactly is with this "paying your dues"? It almost sounds like people get jealous because others got to the airline industry a little faster. I feel like i payed my dues. Not because I had a flying job at a DZ, flying a piece of crap plane that I had more than one emergency in, but because I payed for my flight school by deploying on several combat deployments with the infantry.
