If my company really has no extra money laying around at all to give me a pay raise then fine, I guess I wont get one. But don't for a second try to con me into thinking that if you can then go out and buy new planes and companies and hand out nice management bonuses. That doesn't wash. I may be a pilot but I'm no young idiot. I'm about to turn 30, spent 10 years as an officer and pilot in the Air Force and have an advanced degree from the Colorado Mountain School for wayward children. I can spot BS from a good distance away.
Oh and Velo, we ALWAYS wanna hear from you!  |
You. . .with the silver spoon. My "little" brother is CMS grad Class of 88. I did the Hudson U. thing many years ago, but ending my tenure as a enlisted person. You didn't grow into your adult career "hurting" by any means. . .matter of fact, you were pampered. . .severely! I understand your perspective comparatively speaking. You took a severe financial hit transitioning from military to civilian aviation. I still don't agree with you. Nope, you're not a young idiot; you were simply pampered, but generally speaking, most (not all) academy grads are, especially aviators.
. . .as the cliche' goes, "Welcome to the
real world!"
