"USav8or,
If you were without a job and you were offered a job flying a 747 all over the world, are insinuating that you would not take the job??
Some people have been blessed with good luck in this business, and some have not."
I honestly do not know what I'd do - "what if" scenarios are pointless unless you're actually in the person's shoes. I was simply surprised how little those 747 drivers were getting paid, believe they deserve much more than that. That was my only observation.
As far as some being "blessed with good luck" in this business - I totally agree. I do realize I'm very blessed and take nothing for granted, tomorrow my airline might be going out of business - you never know...
The same applies to everything though... Some people are very blessed in their personal lives, have great wives/husbands, healthy and very smart kids, etc. Personally I'd gladly give up my "blessed job" for the above...
So again, no I was not judging anyone but simply making an observation...
