Kaptin M,
I probably should have narrowed down the wild spray of ammo a little more. I have read plenty of posts from you and I find that you have a better grip on reality than many and best of all you don't seem to be massively up yourself, it's a job that you like and probably get well paid for but it is not your entire life so you can feel excluded from my earlier spray.
I guess the guys that need a solid kick in the head are pilots that sum up their entire life experience by being pilots. That is all they know and can relate to and that is unhealthy. They know nothing of what it takes to earn a professional degree so they simply slag it off as they feel they had a hard time in aviation and everyone else has it easy. Naiveity at it's worst.
If I asked you to tell me about yourself and you said "Oh I like fly fishing and collecting model trains and I am into scuba diving and hope to spear fish a yellow fin tuna in the head this summer ....and I happen to work for qantas" I would see you as adjusted and interesting.
If you answered the question by saying......... "I fly 747's to Europe for Cathay" .....I would think you are a sad shallow prat who needs to get out more.
At the end of the day who really gives a f*ck anyway.
cheers
