As usual, there are those who just aren't happy if they can't shout to the world that pilots are a bunch of self-centred, ego-centric prats.
Pilots do what they do in no small part because of their type of personality, just as doctors and lawyers (among others) do. Given the realities of what it takes to both become a professional pilot and then continue to be a professional pilot, why do so many of you so easily bash a pilot for validating his/her salary or career path but never say a thing when it comes to other professions requiring a similar level of committment???
The article is great, the views pretty much spot on and the author doing an absolutely superb job of putting into layman's terms what a lot of us have gone through to get to where we are.
Well done and I shall pass it along.
