Not to be too blunt, but when it comes to providing an education for your kids, but some folks can't and some folks can; those that can typically do. |

It's ironic that in one of the capitalistic societies I am knocked down for wanting to make money.
Didn't say I wouldn't want them to have a head start, but who knows what kind of programs will be in place by the time they're 18. Maybe they can work they're way through college? Sorry, I grew up with money always being an issue, and my parents instilled in me strong working values. That's why the previous poster has the same attitude. |

Very true." The I can handle a short term period of poverty before things get better" mentality should be a thing of the past. The regional FO position is now a almost a career position.

JetU and the likes are just killing the drive to make regionals better... they pump the regionals full of kids who could careless what they make, because dad the DR. gives JR an extra 2000K month. We had a couple kids driving brand new BMW's in my new hire class that came straight from JetU. This is why it will never get any better. |

Whats so wrong with people trying to make the regionals a better place... some of what N2 says is right... since I started in 2000 things have gotten worse in the regionals, and we and our unions let it happen.

I was driving behind this kid in my neighborhood who was wearing the three stripes driving a BMW with a handsfree device attached to his ear. I was so impressed. As George Carlin used to say "while you've got your hands free"......fill in the blank. |
