With an attitude like that you REALLY need to be a union member, You
are your worst enemy....

This is one of those things I hate about being a pilot. I'm a poor man in a

order to live. I'm in the latter category. I'm a type "A" personality, but
not when it comes to money. I prefer the simplicity of punching in, doing my
job, and punching out. That's when my life begins, adn I enjoy it immensely.
I'm in good health and condition for my age (other than a back problem
that's work related, but manageable, so far). I prefer jumping off a
mountain with a hang glider strapped to my back over taking my life savings
and investing it in some marketing scheme that could go TU on me at any
time. People like you will never understand people like me, and you will
always look down on us, but you couldn't survive, let alone get rich without
us.

Now I remember the other reason I stopped communicating here. To many
assholes.

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time, and annoys the pig.

Have fun. Fly safe. Go **** yourself.

The individuals who make up the FAA are government employees. You have
clearly stated your disdain for government employees more than once in
these
forums.

My belief that most federal employees are underworked and overpaid is
not "disdain". It is something, however, that could be easily and
swiftly addressed, under any new administration.

If you think I'm getting rich running a small hotel, you clearly don't
understand the industry. We have no gardener, no plumber, no
decorator, no groundskeeper. No one writes our webpage, no one runs
the wireless network. Mary and I are IT, every day, and if the snow
needs shoveling, or a guest can't get his wireless working, guess what?


The only difference between us, Mike, is that I don't hate what I'm
doing. I probably make less money than you do annually, thanks to
choosing the road I'm on, but I don't have to wait until "after work"
to start living each day. I love every minute of my life. (Well,
okay, when I'm working on stopped up plumbing, or shoveling snow, that
pretty much sucks... ;-)

I've worked too many awful-but-high-paying jobs in my life, and it's
just not worth it. I'd rather enjoy what I'm doing, and make peanuts,
thanks.

Wow. Dude, you've got...issues. You need to go fly, or start a small
business. SOMETHING to vent all this anger.

large, very dumb corporations. If any further evidence of the need to
privatize the FAA is necessary, I will be very surprised.

I fail to see how privatization will fix the problem.

Because in a private company, without all the ridiculous "work rules"
that Federal employees can currently hide behind, insubordinate
employees can be effectively weeded out.

As it stands now, FAA management is obviously nothing but a paper
tiger. As an American taxpayer, I feel that this needs to change --
and I don't see any way for that to happen inside the Federal
government.

I wish it were otherwise, because I truly do believe that ATC should be
a governmental responsibility.

I so know where you are coming from but it's so narrow minded. Why not
accept graciously that some people are bosses, some are workers, some
are artists, and some are priests. If everyone measured their self
worth on the same scale, this would be a pretty sad and boring life.

It takes a village. I enjoy living in it.

That is exactly why we need unions. Any boss gets his panties in a bunch, he

is, so the employee, who is only human, loses his job because of some
egomaniacal twit with a tie.


Mike, instead of cowering behind your union, you need to get out in
front of the curve, and really hang it out as the boss of your own
business. Maybe come up with a new way to make a better widget, and
set the world on fire. Really be a man, take some real risks, and face
the realities of the modern business world unprotected by union rules
that allow you to remain employed despite hating everything and
everyone around you.

Maybe it's time for you to see what it's like to trust your future and
your family's good fortune to employees that might care as little about
your company as you obviously do. It'll be an enlightening experience,
I assure you.

I think you've got the makings of a good entrepreneur. You've
certainly got the attitude.

B,


Dress is often used to hide incompetence.


Is that why France considers itself the fashion hub of the world?


I don't know, but all those fat Americans in trunk-sized shorts and
t-shirts look plenty incompetent to me.

Yep, I can spread stupid slander about other people just as well as
you can

Hairy armpits are sexy?

Uh, no. You get shot here in Montana for wearing anything like that, for
any reason.


And in most parts of Colorado outside Denver/Boulder or Vail/Aspen.

Well, if anyone here had any doubts, those doubts have been resolved: you
are without doubt a union "man", and you're right where you belong.

....... but to my insistence that I, and coworkers, be treated with dignity
and respect.

Y'know, I've read a number of your posts in which you reiterate this theme.
Apparently, by your lights, such dignity and respect are deserved and due,
and do not necessarily have to be earned. Thus I would expect a real man to
offer this same dignity and respect, unbidden, to others - and I'm thinking
now particularly of employers. Yet not once have I seen any indication
that you do so. In fact, I can't recall any instance wherein you have
referred to your own or any other employer in anything but undignified and
insulting terms. What that tells me is that you have indeed chosen to read
the union book, and spout on demand the union line, but you have given very
little thought as to the nature of your core beliefs.
