I wasn't talking about compensation. My point was only that any one who refers to themselves as "We are not average citizens. We are extremely specialized, highly trained" probably is the type of guy/gal that wears full uniform to run errands. Period. Obviously, you wear yours to family photos, and your wife's friend's Halloween party. But, hey, you're not average. You're special. If a drywall hanger misses a seam and his co-worker doesn't catch it, nobody dies. I could go on but I just realized I'm wasting my time on you... |

Definitely not a fact and definitely up for debate. So I know how to hang drywall and fly 121 and they're not even close. Drywall is taught in 2-day courses and the years and years of training and hands-on experience required for this profession is more akin to the level of education of a doctor than a drywall hanger. Thanks for demeaning our profession.

Yep, I've done some drywall as well, and engaging him is a waste of time.

You're one medical bust away from just being an 'average citizen'.
Exactly why we should make more. There aren't many other professions where you can drop $250k in training only to end up flipping burgers because you get diabetes. |

...and the years and years of training
I just wanna say congrats to all the B6 folks on the passing of your TA. You folks deserved it! And for the 99.87% of you that have to fly with the 5 guys that took the time to educate me on how much harder their job is-how much more skill they truly possessed than Juan the drywaller (and were fu%&ing serious about it), good luck I guess. |

But that's only with PPL, INST, COMM, ATP, 5 types, countless recurrents/ PC's/PT's, ground school, CBT's, etc... But years and years? At the absolute minimum that implies 4 years. WOW! I mean...wow. I'd figuratively give both testicles to fly with you. AND, you "know how to fly 121"?!
