Default Remarkably similar

I thought this about summed it up:

Working in the airline industry:

1. We work in weird shifts... Like prostitutes
2. They pay you to make the client happy... Like a prostitute
3. The client pays a lot of money, but your employer keeps almost every penny... Like a prostitute
4. You are rewarded for fulfilling the client's dreams... Like a prostitute
5. Your friends fall apart and you end up hanging out with people in the
same profession as you... Like a prostitute
6. When you have to meet the client you always have to be perfectly groomed.... Like a prostitute
7. But when you go back home it seems like you are coming back from hell... Like a prostitute
8. The client always wants to pay less but expects incredible things from you... Like a prostitute
9. When people ask you about your Job, you have difficulties to explain it... Like a prostitute
10. Everyday when you wake up, you say: I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE
DOING THIS"..... Like a prostitute

R1340,

If you really feel this way about your chosen profession, I hear that they are hiring at the local WalMart.

Jeez, that wasn't even close to funny, witty, clever or anything.

If you stretch your imagination hard enough, this thread would qualify as interesting and bizarre, with emphasis on the latter. Hence it got moved to the Hangar. I wonder what they say about pilots in the prostitute forums?

I wouldn't know but I could guess ...

- They're really cheap, want everything at a discount
- They think their wives don't know
- BIG watches, small ...

And you wouldn't want to know the rest
