You might want to check again. We do not live in a democracy and never have. This is a democratic republic. You get to vote for people (representitives) who make decisions (legislate) for you. They say if you repeat something enough times, people will start to believe it. If the "this" you were referring to was not our form of government but this forum, then it would be a dictatorship as the APC moderators dictate the rules. Words have meaning and are much more effective if used properly.

Don't agree with about 1/2 of what Sky has to say, but the other 1/2...100%.
He tells it like it is. Some guy with high aspirations about flying for some big airline, making tons of $, needs to be told how it is in today's industry. Should that guy spend $100k to go to some pilot mill (and that's just what they are), just to end up at regionals for the rest of his life, or does he take the chance? Sky gives it to him straight.

Well, well my friend...looks like you have found yourself as the focal point of dissention once again .

I for one like SkyHigh's posts. He is a worthy opponent. No, at times, I do not wish to brain wrestle with him, however, he does bring a realism to this forum.

Btw, ole friend...talked the flight school thing over with my ex and she says she is behind me all the way. I did bring up some of the issues that you have pointed out on this forum and she says it is a risk that we will take together.

Besides, it's too much fun. We are all humored by the politics of the union/management battles, ex-pats who fashion themselves as a 2006 version of Terry and the Pirates, apparently middle-aged divorcees who coyly string along anonymous internet Lotharios, and occasionally, even some good, hard information. I'll soon be 59, so I'll stick around for about another year.

Who would everyone have to pick on if Skyhigh wasn't here? 2Dot, we're just a ray of sunshine today aren't we?... I'm a middle age divorcee and I've checked my strings for some anonymous internet lotharios, but alas my strings came up empty. You must be speaking of someone else!

Actually, my point was directed to those who by some holier-than-thou self-proclaimation, invite others to leave these discussions. I digress...you're probably correct about the "someone else" scenario. (Geez, lots of arios going around this thread.) I certainly mean no disrespect toward any M-A-D, especially you. Your posts have been witty, informative, and pretty much from the cuff. Keep the good stuff coming, I enjoy it. And, I'm really not a grouch...bit of a cynic, but not a grouch.

I haven't paid much attention to SKYHIGH's posts. However, from what I understand he is in business for himself. He is building his network which he is in control of, everybody else works at their job in somebody else's network (your airline).
