"I know this may upset some people but for those of us that didn't have airline captains as fathers to help us, or mommy and daddy to pay for then CFI rating while letting them live at home free while teaching, this non paying job is the best job I have ever had and I used to make 60k year."

I get the general point you are trying to make, but it comes across as a bit hypocritical when you yourself made some pretty decent scratch (60k ain't exactly living in the poor house). Some people are living in poverty due to this flying dream either because they spent every last dime on it, or had to take out huge ass loans to make it happen.
