This times 100.
The weird thing about some pilots is that someone can make 250k a year and they think thats a failure because he could make 350k a year by doing x, y or z.

The way I see it is if I make 250k a year and am happy, I couldn't really care less about anything else.

Weird...I personally know lots of wide body pilots and being “tired all the time” isn’t something I ever see or hear from them. They seem to have pretty good QOL too.

I know I’m probably just a troll for saying this.

Here we go again. Starting contact negotiations soon and y’all didn’t learn from last time. Let’s negotiate on a public forum what we would find acceptable. Because y’all know from last time management doesn’t read these posts 🙄

Different strokes for different folks.

H€||, some people think Miatas are sports cars. The world would be boring if we all thought the same.

Don’t think you’re trolling at all. I know plenty that love it as well. All I am saying is it isn’t for me. Especially when I get older and my body really can’t handle it. So when we get A350s, y’all don’t have to worry about me bidding it.

APC post from years back. Military guy had offered at FedEx, Southwest, and Delta. He took the delta offer because he didn’t want to fly all night and didn’t want to fly the 737. Now at delta all he does is fly a 737 all night.

Ya just never know what’s going to happen.
