Can you answer a non-technical question for a non-pilot?
I am just a lurker who enjoys the technical and not so technical discussions I find on this forum.
How is it that you military folks, who regularly engage in life threatening activities, seem to be able to discuss your work and life with good humor and outrageous comments while still engaging the technical aspects of your situation.
For example: "Caption Competition" "Big Blu"
While – the commercial pilots on their three “Flight Deck Forums” display nothing but bad temper, ill concealed contempt for others, and deadly seriousness that demonstrate disgust with their chosen careers.
You military types all seem to enjoy your careers and really enjoy talking and joking about them. The commercial guys seem to always have a black cloud over their head.
What is so different between the two groups?
