Okay, Fan #1

So I was waxing a little lyrical there, I do know that flying to rigs in IF is not all fun and games, and it was a arrogant to speak for a whole profession. However I stand by what I said in relation to the pilots with whom I spend my time.

I also agree that, especially compared to airline pilots, we are underpaid but that’s true for any industry where there are a large number of people, (obviously not you) with a passion for what they do.

You sound like someone who never had to commute to the slow death of an office job every day and don’t appreciate what you have. I also suspect you didn’t pay for your own training and take your privileged position too lightly.

If you hate it that much, (and judging by your language you do) then get yourself an office job, stop flying and leave a gap for someone else who’ll appreciate it (like Banjo maybe !).
