It’s comical and sad how many pilots need to pick up a green slip to pay for an unforeseen car repair or for Christmas presents.

No kidding.
Just like I previously said about a different thread......this thread is pathetic.
But that is not surprising lately.
This place has become no better than Cc.
But then, Based on history of posts from some here, I would bet that was the goal with some of these threads.

I’m sure the 24 year-old RJ skipper who was doing 3-5 legs a day in and out of blizzards and thunderstorms in ORD, CLT, DEN and LGA can handle it.

Don’t forget the human prefrontal cortex doesn’t fully develop until age 25. This part of the brain is important for planning, judgment and impulse control. Pretty important things to have when piloting a plane with 250 people on it thousands of miles from an airport over the Atlantic.
