hey lets not be so hard on the guy, he just needs to see a doctor..lets see if I can help.
hmmm...
-just retired from his career early, tying to conquer new challenges
-lost his lady to an assistant (explains why he doesnt want to be a co pilot or assistant to anyone)
-the need to buy expensive items to make himself feel better. expensive watch, citation jet, a red sports car too??
-imaginary little black book
hmmm sounds like you sir have a case of.. midlife crisis. It's ok Ed.. this is common in men of your age who have some insecurities about themselves. Aviation is not the solution Ed. Becoming an airline captain of a big..long...powerfull jet wont make up for your apparent shortcomings. You know there are alternate methods to fixing that little problem of yours.
Do you concur doctor?

damn...i'm gonna call up HK in STL and tell him to reduce my $22.29/hr wages....i was so overpaid, i thought i might buy a lamborghini and a ferrari....at the same time.
Or, maybe when i go into the Bentley Dealer, i'll just say..."Yeah, i like that one, don't worry about running my credit buddy....i'm an airline pilot"

I wouldn't drive a Bentley or a Lamborghini and Ferraris are overpriced. You seem to be down on your profession more than others and I am just curious why you do it? Most guys working at Home Depot and Walmart earn half that much and seem to get by. Why don't you apply at FedEx, UPS or Southwest as I hear they pay considerably more? It's just an idea!

Ahhhhh, I think I've got it.
CallmeEd is actually a furloughed major whose wife left him for a doctor. Now he's taking out his frustration at her, him, and the industry by trying to make all three look bad.
Am I warm?

Yeah, lets make this a game to see who can reveal "CallMeEd"s REAL identity.
