Not sure what the hell you're on about. The undocumented Mexican immigrant that just did the drywall in my basement remodel has more "skill" in his foreskin than ANY Airbus pilot. The most difficult part of our jobs is retaining our damn 1st class medical every 6 months. You know that, I know that, and the rest of us know that. Fact. Not up for debate.
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.

He went FULL foxtrot North. You can't fix that.

If he had said plasterer instead of drywall hanger then it would've given me pause... ;-) just kidding. It took 1 room to practice but on the 2nd room my uncle who is in the construction biz said I had the plastering down. That stuff can be tricky to make smooth (textured is way easier).

Years and years. Years and years?! Damn son, how many extra sim sessions did you need?! I just did some finger math and came to the sum of 14 months of my life have been spent in actual training. 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"?!
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.
