Pilots from another perspective.......

First off, this guy has posted this on our company forum, his views are nothing to do with mine ok so go easy and remember I am just posting this as a bit of fun.
First bit is the quote from another post, main body of text is the reply...........

Yes!


bully for you . anyone can do that , it isn't an elite club for intellectuals despite what most pilots think about themselves . all you really need is the cash for the ridiculously expensive lessons ..... i didn't bother myself when i thought about it because i considered too much of a waste of money while bringing up a young family .... and as a route to getting a commercial pilots licence ,, thats balls too , once agian tyou need deep pockets to fund that with only a remote chance of getting a job at the end of it ..... one would think with the proliferation of low cost airlines that there would be a great demand for pilots , but it doesn't seem to be the case . i shall tell you why as well .... a low cost airline uses its pilots to the MAX whereas the trad state run slugs do not and have half their fleet drivers mowing their lawns and shagging hostesses in 5 star hotels .... . i know the railway isn't quite as glam as piloting but it is more secure in many respects .....

you the one with the hgv licence as well ?
