My brother gets laid off every few years but his experiences help him to get more pay and a better job each time. Pilots have to start over as if they are a 20 year old new hire again.
Also aviation is especially weak. Even you must be able to admit that.

It doesn't make a difference. People spend money for many reasons, and the amount they feel comfortable spending depends upon where they are located on the economic ladder. For you, $100 is a lot. For others, it's probably the amount that gets accidently sent through the wash in their pants pockets.
In addition, I'm sure all the women out there will take offense to your sexist comment that there is only one (1) thing a woman can do to earn $10,000 a night. In addition, I never said she was working weekends either.
Hopefully you'll tone down your attitude a bit as you progress through 121 training. Remember, you don't want to wash out, or you'll be black balled for at least 5 years.

Jealous of who? I got an airline job with 400hrs...why would I be jealous of anyone/anything....If anything...you should be jealous of me that I got in and the sexists at the interview didn't want you....
And are you seriously describing to me here how to price women at the wh0rehouse? How would you want me to think differently now...real smart..
And not just women...anyone making $10K a night....if it's not gambling.....certainly can't be anything legal...
And you can go out and ask a few women if they would take offense to my comment....I'm pretty sure the same thoughts would cross their minds....
I think only YOU took offense to it at this moment because she is your friend...obviously...I would too....
Only tells me that it has something to do on right track as my thoughts were
Hopefully my attitude will change otherwise I will fail training and be blackballed?
Maybe you should spent less times copy and pasting articles and go out there
and actually get blackballed

safe vehicles to ride in....first laugh I got for the last hour....
That was just funny the way you fitted it in there...
But you're right....
Being a pilot and always gone is not good for children growing up...
however....
a nice place to grow up....health insurance...good schools....are we beginning an old discussion again?
People with NO money can be as happy/sad as people with ALL the money...
Money def. makes a difference....but emotionally it does not...
And you know that, skyhigh...

But I do have a bit better judgement...as I never started smoking (and you say you miss it after 18yrs
)When you were my age, you wouldn't even dream of sitting on the cockpit of an airliner...
Is this why you're against it?
