On another note you guys are seriously bitter!

OH GOD it must be horrible being at a regional for ten years making 80k a year! hold on i need to rag on a few more things to make this a normal post on an apc forum! Screw alpa, management, mesa and there scab pilots, southwest and their fuel hedging, the public for being dumb, our decisions to be pilots cause you should choose a better career as a fast food manager, I mean, they make more! I don't know about other people but you guys down the pilot career so much you should just quit and make room for the rest of us who really enjoy being a pilot. Next time some 5 year old kid smiles at the wings on your chest go slap that little beotch and tell him that he's just going to be next in line to be F'ed by ALPA and dereg!!

Yeah, we all got into it because we love to fly and that's great, but the job has a lot of negatives that just get worse as your life expands unless your seniority keeps pace!

To answer anyone elses questions im 21 1000/120, college degree and trying to figure out where i want to fly... you know what, I wouldn't care if i made 40,000 a year at 26 and i'm sorry you guys have such a problem with that... I work seven days a week and wouldn't mind working 4 days on making twice my cfi salary!!! how is it bad to have three days off a week!? I realize that pay sucks but thats why it's only the first few years and that how it has been for a long time, so deal with it or get going to another industry... Im not saying FO's dont deserve more but come one people! you can get with a good company with awesome upgrade times if you want! even a "moronic idiont" like myself could think of 10 airlines with awesome upgrade times and descent pay! quit complaining cause you have a bad contract with the company you are at!!! Go TO A NEW AIRLINE!!! try airlinepilotcentral.com i heard they show upgrade times!!!

in life and certainly in this business.
I like the kids attitude. He says F-it I want to be a pilot.
He will make it in this business.
His expectations are low and expects nothing in return.
He just wants to fly planes for a living.
Rag on him as you will but you could learn something
from his decent overview of his ideas.
The rest of you saps that are overwelmed by enormous mortgages,
kids braces and a ol lady who spends , should have planned better.
Don't tell me that EVERY ONE of your parents didn't tell you to save
for the "rainy day" well folks that day is NOW
I see it all day long ....people are overextended.
As for the folks that are furloughed
I am sorry for your bad fortune. No one knew.
But the same cards dealt to Kangaroo kid he could bounce back
and keep going. I like this guy and if you don't too bad
