in 1982 I was offered a job at apple computer. today, I'm a 737 pilot for a major airline...and everyday I wish I had taken the job at apple computer.

I would have had more money...alot more money...a whole helluva lot more money, I mean even the custodians became millionaires.

I've seen the pilot profession go to hell. pay cuts of some fifty percent, loss of pensions...compromises everywhere.

IF I had taken the job at apple computer, would I be sick now wishing I had been an airline pilot?

And when I had this decision to make I had more hours than you, an ATPMELCFIIMEI and less money than you.

good luck and if you need more help making a decision...you probably shouldn't be a pilot.
