How do you know?? 😁 Wanting the pint thing probably lowers the number(s) though. 🍻

I had a colonoscopy years ago, and the guy that did mine had done some 30,000. Yep... He drives a really nice car... ain't tied to a hospital, and doesn't do emergencies. Why some doctors go into the fields they do is interesting. No way in hell would I want anything to do with women's issues.. Give me a nice heart or brain

Just sayin'

I also hear they have the best stories - "A million to one shot Doc....." :D

You know what they say about proctologists.

When they go to medical school, they start at the bottom....and stay there.


(They also like to tell you why they wear brown shoes)

Sort of like plumbers,
hot on the left, cold on the right.
crap runs downhill,
don’t bite your nails.

In reality, those folks are working at the doc-in-the-box in some strip mall making bad coin while trying to service about $400k of student loans.

We laugh about it, but they've got their own set of problems.

The peak hiring was in mid-98 in that cycle. If you managed to get in before that, you tended to do relatively better. DC-9 captains just before the age-65 thing made it into mid-98 before the big re-wind. After that, you were locked into whatever it was you were doing for a long time.

So true, to include flying turbo props or crj 100/200 for a decade at $56 as a captain or $39 as an FO. Being locked in sucked.

you got $39/hour as an FO? I think I was in my sixth year in the RJ right seat before I got to that

Hmmm, you mean that RJ, that had a lavatory, autopilot and flight attendant? Try spending a couple years in the right seat of a Bandit, Beech 99, Twin Otter or Metroliner making $10k/yr.
