I wouldn’t want to do anything else for a paycheck.

Let’s not confuse that with I’d be willing to do this for less. We are under compensated as professional pilots. I couldn’t replace this jobs income with anything else given my current skill set but I don’t compare myself to my neighbor or any other job but professional airline pilot. A surgeon couldn’t replace his income either but he sure wouldn’t do it for less.

It’s a great job and some of us think it’s easy. Most experts in their fields feel like their job is easy but that doesn’t mean it is. We are professionals at the elite level. Don’t forget that. Can it be fun? yes. Can it be easy at times? yes. Can it be very challenging at times? you bet. Can you replace your current income by changing careers, probably not. Does that mean you are overpaid and underworked? NO!

Compared to other pros we are underpaid. Remember this when assessing your value.

I’m really glad that bounced back, ha! I always think of that scene when there’s a lot of agreement going on.

Could that movie even get made today, with the current climate we now live in?

Perhaps if Dave Chapelle was writer, director and producer.

There definitely a chance that Clayton Bigsby was influenced from the KKK scene

Yup. Nothing.
Not to mention the 401(k) DC, health insurance, and LTD. People don’t believe me sometimes because it’s crazy what we have.
