I am quite a ways beyond it, and I still don't see why you bring this up in each of our duels As if it were to diminish the validity of an argument that centers around morality rather than flying

 

I am merely interested in you and your progress to your goals and find it admirable that someone so new to aviation is interested in making such strong comments.

I think you live near me as well. Why not fly over here so I can buy you lunch?

Thanks for the offer, but I thought we were over 2000 nm apart?! Please correct me if I'm wrong - I think we'd have an . . . interesting . . . conversation haha My home base is KBED.

 

Oh well I guess you are right. Perhaps when you are a 777 captain and have a layover in Seattle I could buy you lunch?

get a room, you two

 

That's the attitude Sky

Hmmmmmm . . . how many others have you told to get a room :P

 

You are the first. Is this an invitation?

 

Would you fight for your life? .......Greener Pastures?...For Who?...You?...The next generation in line??? (Ever realize that this giant rock will still be here long after we are all gone)!

You have fun grazing your pasture like the sheeple and I will keep fighting for you to be able to water it.

FEAR nothing. What is the worst that can happen. Life is one thing you can not get out of alive.

Life is too short to blow your days on trying to make aviation a better place to work. Find something that is worthy of your time. Get a career that appreciates you from your first day on the job. Put your art into your life and not into your career.

Find greener pastures.

If grazing is what you seek, yes, go to greener pastures.

If flying is what you seek, then fight for your love!




NO! I will NOT give up!

Don't try to mitigate your abandoning this calling by making others feel there is no hope.

I fell in love with flight the first time I saw a bird. I fell in love with commercial aviation when I first boarded a Convair and watched each engine belch fire and smoke as they started.

I choose to follow in the footsteps of men like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Frank W. "Spig" Wead, Jimmy Doolitlle and mythical characters like Dan Roman.

That this quest was too great for you does not give you the right to dissuade others from the true calling. It was Flyers who started aviation. If only Flyers remained, this industry would have a much different complexion.

I, for one, will not abandon this industry. I will continue to fight to improve it. And those who wont fight will not be missed when they are gone.
