Thumbs down are all G.A pilots lazy?

My dad says I should fly for the airlines because all G.A pilots are lazy and that they drink to much and all they do is whinge about having no money and the only reason they arn't in the airlines is because they don't work hard enough, any thoughts??

The Hun,
I think mummy wants to know if you have made your bed yet and put your washing out.
I think daddy want his computer back.

Good luck with the cadetship. LOL.

The reason GA pilots are lazy, drink too much etc etc is that they are training..........to be airline pilots

Wind up alert? More like bed wetter alert!

By the way Hun, tell Daddy his is full of $hit. I have done both, I worked way harder in GA and drank way harder in the airlines.

Now I'm flying a Corporate Jet and I drink only rarely and the flying's the best, everyone has to grow up sometime Hun, even you.

Oh jeez, airlines are definitely better ... you earn enuf to afford a current wife and at least 2 ex's. And that's probably just as well too...

A wise man once told me when I was riding the jumpseat(remember those days)..if you plan a career in the airlines son, buy yourself a suit, because it will work out cheaper than hiring one for your weddings..

Question

A wind up it may be but let's be honest here.
Basically all pilots, GA or otherwise, are:
1/ lazy
2/ soft
3/ arrogant
4/ spoilt
5/ not entitled to think the world owes them a living just because they were one of millions who paid for their own education.
6/ not as clever as they think they are.
7/ disloyal
8/ users
9/ known to usually have enormous inferiority complexes because of all of the above which they try to hide with bravado.
10/ frightened their you know what is not as big as the next bloke's you know what.
11/ misogynists (or scared to death of women)
12/ known to drink too much and too often
13/ known to hate paperwork of any description and do anything to get out of doing it.
14/ always think they are right whatever the subject. I've known pilots to be authorities on anything from the South American Yak to the politics of Equador to the mating habits of the dung beetle.
And the bugle has just sounded for the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to remind us all of those who lost their lives so I can sit here and write almost anything I like. Lest we forget.

Quote - "Hun"
Dear Pilots,
I am a 17 year old student about to finish my VCE and I am thinking about working as an airline pilot. I understand that I have to get my Commercial License first, but i was wondering what airlines I should apply to so that i dont have to fly smaller aeroplanes.
I would appreciate any replies,
Thankyou

Quote - "VOTZEboy" - ARE YOU F#%!!NG SERIOUS LAD?!!!

Totally agree. You better stop talking before u put ur foot in it Hun. Something tells me i've met ur "type", as it were, and with that attitude you wont make many friends, or go far.
I always remember what i was told by my, daddy, "Work your way from the bottom cause your just another peice of **** out there!"
Tough - yes
Correct - yes
Anywho im gunna start woking my way up as a GA pilot, maybe not being lazy though, by working hard like many others are.

Dear The_Hun,

My parents tell me everyday how f**king lazy I am. But I still can't score a job in GA. Can you please ask your Dad (coz he seems to know a lot) what I am doing wrong.

Yours sincerely,
TL
