Only thing I don't like about Wal-Mart is the, *ahem* clientèle. I get very tired of a woman dragging five LOUD, screaming children who obviously lack parential discipline around in the store, blocking aisles and lacking the phrase "excuse me" in their vocabularies.
I wish the Maryland DC burbs had Meijer's...

I can't see how that would be a bad thing...
and I do think it's a fact that the public couldnt care less.. everyone seriously still thinks that we're overpaid. the best way to go about it is to teach the reality to the deluded wannabes.

When commuting, I am very open to talking to people about our job, the lifestyle, the pay, etc. It has become VERY clear to me that what Skyhigh said is true. Educating the passengers is a lost cause. It will be a battle we will never win, because even if they figure out we aren't raking in the dough and living a glamorous life, they still only care about the cost out of their pocket. Trying to get the passengers 'on our side' is pointless and a poor strategy.

This is so very true. Maybe back in the day the very people who entrust us to fly them safely would care - but nowadays they just want to pay the cheapest damn fare the can. And then go on to complain about how overpriced the tickets are, of course.

I've read some of the comments written by SkyHigh and he seems to know what he is talking about. From what I gather, he has a reason to be bitter after what has happened to him. SkyHigh, I hope you can find a suitable opportunity soon to come back to flying. I can tell your heart is still in flying. Can't deny yourself what your heart craves. I've been in a similar situation after 9/11.
