Never thought of it like that....Hmmmm Good point!So the game continues. It's essentially still the same game - the only thing that has changed are the faces

I'm not sure why, but you always seem to be trying to justify your decision not to pursue professional aviation. We get it, you don't think you'll make as much money doing whatever it is you do. I hate to break it to you, but that's pretty much a given for any career change.
Yep, that's him. I just didn't want to give his name on a public forum.
You are right about the over-time. Unfortunately, here at Delta if you are junior it is hard to get. But, once a line-holder picking up a "Green-Slip" (double-time) here and there will add a butt-load of cash to your paycheck.
I have done the LCC/short-haul stuff for ten years, the SWA guys can have it. The International thing makes it almost like you are not coming into work. Plus, I am home with my little girl more than half of the month.
Tell Tom I'll see him at JFK.

Baloney.
If I decided to become a doctor, a lawyer, get an MBA, or go sell credit default swaps, I'd make more money than I make now.
I leave for Iraq next week so we'll see.

It's great that you said, yeah, I love this so much that I'm willing to go back to wages I got when I was fresh out of college.
But don't act as if changing careers means you have to do that. That's simply not true.
You know, when you're younger, they tell you to do what you love and the money will come.
Then you get older and you know that's absolute BS.
When you've got a mortgage to pay and don't like living one or two paychecks or one medical mishap away from bankruptcy, that do what you love stuff starts to sound really trite.
The solution?
Work to live. Don't live to work.
