BTW, I am a simple and mostly Plain Jane man who decided he wanted more out of life than working at a steel plant. I struggled through college and clawed my way to an airline job. Any person who sincerely tries could have what I have, with the exception of my good looks and my dog - he's not for sale!:p

I suspect a lot of pilots are just average (maybe less than average but who's measuring...) guys who wanted a little more than 9 to 5 for the rest of their lives.

Being a pilot is a lifestyle more than anything else...

I did basically that for a few years & loved it. The best job I ever had I would fly around the country Mon - Thurs & be back in the office on Friday. Unfortunately that company went out of business & now I'm behind the desk all the time. Being a pilot is what I have always wanted to do & if I can find the money I'm going to do it!

Are you trying to say SkyHigh is German? If so, you forgot the "t" in Deutsch. :p

I am coming to the belief that those who are born under a lucky star and do make it to a good major must think to themselves "what is all the whining about? I mean I made it. All you have to do is to call your uncle at FedEx and he will get you an interview. What is the big deal?"

Sincere Effort

My definition of a Sincere Effort would be to strip yourself of all hang ups like friends, family, home and needs of financial security. Streamline your life to the point of the lowest drag possible and persistently push through the loneliness and poverty till that magical day comes in your early 40's when you get hired by a major airline. Then you can relax start making more than just the minimum payment on your 20 year old student loan and step up to two bedroom apartment luxury, no more smelly room mates except for perhaps a gold fish. And, a living room full of recently assembled Ikea furniture.

Keep trying kids and someday you will make it too !! :)
