Today's TOTD is this pilot which is making email rounds:

I hope it is fake or some prankster, but somehow I fear it is real.

Sounds like a doctor in a 182 belittling others to me. That's a real tool in my mind.

Personally I still take pride in my professional appearance but the companies have made it very clear that they don't care if you look like a slob as long as you're willing to work cheap.

We've gone from $500 escorts to $10 hookers but the companies are still getting their happy endings

Leading by example. Nice.

You guys act like he has no right to voice an opinion because he is a Dr. flying a Cessna, you really need to get over yourselves. Just a wee bit.
