Did I win the "d-bag of the thread award"?

What Bryan Lawlor did takes a lot of nerve, I know him personally, and he stuck his neck out in an effort to educate the masses about the inadequacies of pay for pilots, and for the benefit of everyone including furloughed pilots like yourself.
What all of you should be doing is thanking him for putting his personal life out there so that folks find out what we really go through as pilots.
So I ask you, what have done lately to improve the career? Oh that's right you're leaving to be a CPA? Incidentally why did you remove the link to your blog from your signature? It's a bit hypocritical of you don't you think?

Personally, I have a tremendous level of respect and admiration for what Bryis has done. How many people complain about their current situations versus actually being proactive and doing something about it? I'm not a CPA, but I have plenty of friends who are practicing CPAs. From what I've seen, that type of certification is far from easy and ranks as one of the toughest professional qualifications one can attain.

The problem with the gentleman in question here (Bryis) is that he comes on here with his whole one year of experience in the industry and pretends to lecture folks on the topics at hand (see his post history). We'll as you mentioned, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and just by reading his blog or the fact that he removed the link after he posted on this thread, you can tell the caliber of person that we're dealing with here.

He's got some big Ba**s and its nice he bought this stuff out, buying a 10K motorcycle as a reward for upgrading is nuts in my opinion.
