And I have yet to find a job, that does not have it's share of BS anyways, so I might as well as enjoy what I am doing while dealing with the BS.

EXACTLY,, i worked at subway while going to college and it was the same sh!t. first we got a free sandwhich for lunch, then a couple months later it turned into a discount, then it went to nothing! Also they would screw with my schedule, call me in on my days off, paid me minimum wage, made me work holidays and weekends, and i got 1 week vacation a year, . wow, am i describing an airline job? thats the point. There is BS in every Job, you either deal with it, or move on to the next bs job. Till you are your own boss, you will never be free.

Your Bestest Buddy, SkyHigh Say you haven't mentioned anything about my 2000th post milestone. Do you think you could muster a little jab or something? |

You may have to fly air-tours over the beach for a while though, in a beat-up 172 to build up any lack of PIC. All that SIC and FE just helps your total for the upgrade. I had about 3300 total when I got on with Colgan; 1100 PIC 150 ME and 2200 FE!! Good luck! - BCD |
I walked away from it for four years, then went back. And I'm happier since doing so. This industry has a lot of negatives, no doubt, but the corporate world sucked so much more, at least for me. Your mileage may vary. Good luck!
