Default Re: An uninformed opinion

I'd really like to look at the flying community in black and white as it seems a lot of people do. Either you love to fly and you've sold out or you're in it for the money. To some, there is no in-between. I'm double-damned since I work for the regionals. To some, it's cool to like to fly in 135 or at FedEx and UPS, they get paid a bit more. If you like your job at the regionals, then you're a sell out and dragging the industry down. I call BS on that. I'm doing all I can to pull the pay and QoL up, but b/c of my attitude towards my job and my job itself, I'm often called a "sell out" or "bottom feeder." That's the main reason I read FlightInfo about once or twice every six months. It normally takes one post on PCL for me to go "Oh yeah. That's why." I knew what I was getting into when I started down this path, almost entirely because of THIS website and the people that contribute to it. I still decided it was better than making $16K a year telling people that their kid's too short to ride Space Mountain.....
