OK Boy's and Girls,
Ya'll are livin in La La land if you think things are good in aviation in the STATES.
Things are not good if you are anything BUT entry level.
Try looking for a job that pays anything above poverty level, if you have some experience in A/C that the so called airlines are offering to pilots now.
I am not being pesimistic, but realistic.
If you are lucky enough to be employed by Southwest, AirTran, or JetBlue, maybe things will be OK. MAYBE!!!
But then you start all over again at wages that WAL Mart pays. And remember we are the professionals that the public wants and expects, when they get their butts on the A/C that WE fly to get them home, or work.
For you guy's that are entry level, please do not think I am dispariging the comitment to your profession, I have just been there and done that.
I want things to be better, I am just old enough to know that no matter what you as an individual do to make things better, it's not enough if the rest of the group does not play along.
Everyone for him(her)self and forget about the rest.
Divide and conquer!
Rember "Business is War"
OK enough BS!
Just rember, the job you take today, is the job you loose tomorrow.
Just my $0.02
Sorry that should be "lose" not loose
