I agree. But I'm the old fart....

I just hate to see some poor guy getting peed on for expressing the desire.

Rascal is leaving the career. More power to him. Someone else will be happy to have the seat that he is willfully leaving for his own good reasons. No reason to dis that person or flame the thread....

Tonight my dad just brought home from his vacation in Chicago a Brown leather flight jacket, would it be socially acceptable if i wore it as I'm 19 and haven't even started flying yet? haha...

Put it on "T", and get yourself a good pair of sunglasses (non-polarized) too, you're gonna need 'em. Don't let any one tell you that you can't do it. Good luck to you.
Cheers,

Yeah, ignore the bitter guys.. Apparently on here it's not cool to still enjoy flying... You're SUPPOSED to hate your job once you're flying a jet... Don't take a couple of idiots on an internet message board too seriously.. Get out there and have fun. I know I did when I was in your position!

Yeah i can understand, a job is a job they all have similar aspects like disliking it at times. I'm sure i'll eventually have the same feelings towards it, but for now I love it! I like your avatar haha.
