Hi tippsy baroosa and AAIGUY,
what makes u think being an airline pilot can live lavishly or live like a king in any part of this world? look carefully at the term and conditions for a NEW FRESH pilot nowdays! WAKE UP! we can only consider ourself the best a working middle class level, again the best, not always.
maybe both of you well into your retirement age, thats why you a 'different' mentality (CRM).
cheers.
