Cool story bro, but no one cares, most people have huge debts, can not live on 40k/yr. I am in a similar boat as you, as I did it 61 from an inheritance, but no one give a crud. See ya on the street.

That is a first. I just do not care, I also got a blank check to go fly at a local school and go to penn state, and have no debt and get to now live in base in my own APT. But I do not care who else does.

However I wish that other idiots would not post enjoy being poor in your parents house, as many of us can happily live on 40k/year no problems.

Also anyone that pays 100k+ (like way +) for school/flying to go to riddle etc, I do not get that at all. Not sure who is the bigger idiot, you or your parents.

Aren't you some 22 year old eagle guy that's going to get furloughed? You have over 40 years left in your career. If you're this bitter this young, do us a favor and get out.

I wouldn't go as far as to call someone an idiot. If that's the path someone chooses, then its on them. It doesn't make it a bad choice or the wrong choice. It can all pay off somewhere down the road. If that's the case, no regrets.

Well they come on here and post enjoy living in your parents basement. That is not true for many, such as myself or RT. We elected cheap routes, and can live a middle class life in our early/mid 20s, that a large part of America struggles to do in their 30s/40s.

never said I am a guy.

Who knows who will get furloughed, but we have to drop 300+ pilots before I am gone. IF I get the boot, so be it, I am glad, since that means this place is getting the serious shredder, and I will gladly go to another regional, with 1600+ hours and an ATP ( I would go pay for one if it is prior to the ATP rule next AUG and EGL giving me one).

I see your point. Let'm brag and boast or what ever. Everyone has a story. Some paths were easy and others were hard. That's life.
