The difference is that when someone gets laid off from IBM they most likely will find another job of equil pay fairly quickly and could even get more pay. A pilot is valueless outside of the seniority system.

Anyone???

Hey we all are here because we love flying right? Well where is the love? This tread has lost steam in the shadow of the un-happy one. People will think that you guys are a bunch of masochistic sad sacks.

Lets get this one going again.

I love the chugging sound of a DHC-2 as it slowly makes its way past.

I love seeing the night sky from FL370, or a sunset from that same altitude. Never seems to amaze me how lucky we are to be able to live out our childhood dreams instead of sitting at a desk. Yeah, the pay could be better- but you can say that same thing about almost any job.

Aviation as hardly even been around for only 100 years. We all are truly lucky to be living during these times.

Wool Uniforms

I never was able to work for a company that supplied quality wool uniforms. Everything I ever got was cheap polyester junk.

I bet the older DAL uniforms were great.

I'm not sure what you mean by "hot". If you mean 'flamin'.... I've seen a few of those around. If you mean 'Maxim Covergirl', or even "Girl Next Door", I think that's another Airline Myth.
