Condorbaaz, how I might conduct myself on the flight deck was not origianlly part of this conversation, and quite frankly I find what you've written offensive. Maybe what you write is how you conduct yourself, but don't assume for a minute people are like you. Also do you not think I've already spoken to my family about what they think? Do you think this is something that I've decided to do at the drop of a hat because I like the sound of flying?
What Whippersnapper writes sounds like a walk in the park compared to what I've been through in my current job, but I do know what you mean, the love of a job can easily be extinguished by management and people who have nothing better to do than make your life hell.
Anyways, my small off the cuff remark seems to have totally hijacked this thread. Sorry mods....now can we please continue on topic!
