It's all relative. You feel that you as a pilot are superior to toilet cleaners. Executives at your airline view you as nothing more than a bus driver which in reality is all that you really are. Have some respect for fellow hard working Americans. A job is a job, not too big nor too small.

I'll never understand this attitude from fellow pilots. If you want to be blunt about it, the only likely real difference between you and those "no education toilet cleaners" is that you were fortunate enough to have the money/means to pursue this career. If they had the money (and desire) for flight training, most of them would be right where you are. You (and the rest of us) are not that special.

While I agree with you on the importance of being humble, I disagree that most of them would be right beside us. Please don't belittle our profession by pretending those of us got where we are today without dedication and hard work. Having money was a small piece of the pie.
Nothing you said negates anything I said up there. Many of those "toilet cleaners", given the opportunity, would make it through a civilian flight training program with just as much "dedication and hard work" and you and I. Unless you were military (I was not), having money was a gigantic piece of the pie. The largest piece of the pie. It may not be what the pilot ego wants to hear, but it's the truth.

That's a pretty broad brush to paint with.

Maybe but I agree with him. I'd say that was the biggest reason for people dropping out of flight school was the cost.
