Jetjock,

It is a certainty that you will not enjoy an even close resemblance to what your father and uncle enjoyed. Those days are gone forever. It must be easy to be able to pull the wool over your eyes given examples from thirty years ago. Wake up, you are handicapped to reality.

I am not saying that it is impossible to become an airline pilot. Hell, they are practically giving the jobs away as it is. My point is that most of the benefits and compensations once given are gone now and will continue to reduce with time. If you are satisfied with that then by all means enjoy your life. Others here have an interest in self preservation.


Though I thoroughly enjoy this conversation sadly I must leave now. I will check back later though and will gladly reply to any response.
