Dress Code

My respect for controllers could not have been more diminished. Quite
frankly, after many years of holding the FAA in the highest regard, I
now must admit that I've never seen an organization with a more
self-destructive workforce in my life -- and I've worked for some very
large, very dumb corporations. If any further evidence of the need to
privatize the FAA is necessary, I will be very surprised.


Who do you think you're kidding?

If you mean about my respect for the FAA, I'm not kidding. I always
thought the FAA was a bit uptight and anal about certain regulatory
things (okay, a LOT uptight), but I never had any reason to disrespect
the individuals who made up the FAA. To a man, they've always been
smart, kind, and professional.

That has changed.

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.

This is one of those things I hate about being a pilot. I'm a poor man in a
rich man's hobby. Some people live in order to work. Some people work in
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.

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.

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.

Some good points, some lame, not much about aviation, but the following is
priceless:

Does that apply to air traffic control?
