Sort of makes you wonder. |

Home every day, rotating bi-weekly schedule: Sunday through Thursday week one / Sunday through Wednesday week two. (three day weekend every other week) Auto Technician (new car dealership) - 48,000 Per year, plus one car per year at invoice. I was the lowest paid at the company as I was only there a short time. I know of people at high end dealerships making SUBSTANTIALLY more. Bartender - I worked four nights per week, Wednesday though Saturday 5:00p.m. - 1:00 a.m, and easily brought home 1100.00 in cash per week, not including the rather small paycheck. 57,200 per year, and by far the most enjoyable job I have ever had. |

All I am saying is that she supplements her income the best way she knows how based on her current circumstances. And since you are unaware of those circumstances (and I am) I think she is doing a hell of a job. I'm sure her children will appreciate, when they can fully understand, all she is doing to provide them with the best home life, schooling, and opportunities possible. |

I completely disagree, Ellen.... Even if the going gets though....does that mean go out and sell your body? I'm sure her kids appreciate it now, but if they come to find this out let's say, 10 years from now.....what then :-/ |

I never did say what she does there. She could waitress, bartend, manage, etc. . . It's easy to see how many of you jumped to conclusions that she is a dancer based on two words (Gentleman's Club). In fact, many of you jump to all sorts of conclusions based upon your responses to the variety of posts in the threads on this site. This is the primary reason why I think a DEGREE and EXPERIENCE (wisdom) is important as an airline pilot. THIS is why LOW TIME pilots should not be in the cockpit of a commercial airplane. Could you imagine if these pilots jumped to a conclusion regarding the operating safety of an aircraft with people in the back? I can imagine it, and it's quite frightening. My suggestion is that before many of you regurgitate your thoughts, that you might want to pause a minute or two and think about what you are going to say. You would do yourself a service by sticking your foot in your mouth in private vs. in front of everyone. However, you wouldn't learn about humility that way. |

I know the difference between tv and real life.... Someone making that kind of cash in one night is only one LOGICAL explanation. Why aren't waiters at the top of your list?! Stop fooling yourself and just admit what your friend really is. I'm not trying to be an @sshole here, but it's pretty obvious to the world if a WOMAN makes $10k a night at a gentlemen's club. It makes sense... Avg. 100 men in the club....$100 a pop...sure...$10k right there for ya, Ellen... And this is why low time pilots arent allowed in the cockpit of an airliner? Because we know what's real and what's not? I don't even know what or where you fly, Ellen....but if you think your friend is making that kind of money waiting tables, bartending, w/e....then you need to resign....fast....and go out there and broaden your horizons...:D |

Jealous? A tad bit I believe. Not a good combination in the cockpit of an aircraft. What? A 100 men x $100.00 (On who's budget? A regional airline pilot's working at PSA???? Maybe). How about 10 men @ $1,000? or 1 female @ $10,000? or a combination of 5 men and women @ $2,000? or et el? 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. |

When I was working as a plummer, I was earning up to $1200 a day. That's more than I ever made as a pilot or as an engineer(college degree in). It all depends upon what you are willing to do, whether it be to take off your clothes, or send thousands of people to their death like a war profiteer(Dick Cheaney).

Just a few years ago it was considered impossible to think of UAL going into BK protection. Rest assured no one is safe in this industry. SKyHigh |

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. SkyHigh |

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:D |

SkyHigh 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...;) |

SkyHigh But I do have a bit better judgement...as I never started smoking (and you say you miss it after 18yrs:confused: ) 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?:D |
Yes
