But when I read these forums, I feel just the opposite. The sniping, the negativity, the insults (a few of which I have myself admittedly supplied), the doom and gloom... It's enough to make anyone wonder why they joined this industry. It's just depressing. I always log off feeling worse than when I logged in.
So I'm done with this snarkfest. Thanks to those who helped me out when I was considering joining this racket known as the airline biz. Much appreciated. See y'all on the line.

Too long, too boring. You lost me when you wanted to "feel me in" too "ghey". The grand kids use Apple products and don't know what pop ups are. Gotta go, the grandkids wanna go to the lake and waterski, gotta get the plane gassed up and cooler filled. Have fun in Minnie.
