I know one airline pilot really well. He is a captain at a major airline. He worked hard to get to where he is today. He loves flying and cannot imagine doing anything else. Perhaps he is an outlier or perhaps he just has a different personality type, but I wish everyone on here could be like him once in a while. Have a glass half full attitude. Life is short. There is a place for everyone in this world. Reach for the stars. Ok, ok, enough cliches for one night.
