I agree...it's kind of disturbing that I sit in front of a computer all day and get paid almost 3 times what these guys do. If I screw something up, the worst that might happen is one of our applications doesn't work right. If they screw up, a ton of people die.
Mila Kunis' personal live in gigolo but only if she brings Serinda Swan sometimes too, I don't want to feel used 
Can you give a fellow MacRumors member a good deal on a Highlander? Will trade in my 2007 Camry Hybrid.
No need to be worried. Young pilots are like minor league baseball players - they make no money, but they're still damn good at what they do.
Or, think of it this way: They must be really dedicated to flying if they're still willing to do it while qualifying for food stamps
A scientific journalist/reviewer. I had always wanted to be a doctor from I was knee high til 16yrs old then decided to go into scientific research and was torn between Physics and Pharmacy. I'm currently studying Pharmacy (repeating third year out of a 4 year course).
I was once hired for an "insurance" company, but it was a cross between Madoff and AIG. The screw up would be if I took up with that company. And the mistakes I would make by just doing anything there were the building blocks of this current recession. Many thousands of jobs lost, money vanishing into thin air, and largely because of the insurance business.
I clearly remember my mentor telling me not to do stuff that sounded too good to be true so I turned that company down. They were not happy and a major competitor to State Farm so I almost trusted them. They had kind of cool commercials on TV.
I didn't know what a Ponzi was but the pyramid the insurance company used, and many used until recently, looked like a house of cards ready to fall. As it turns out, a very illegal house of cards. In the end I am glad I did not go to work for that insurance company as I would either be in federal prison or be well on the way there.
The funny thing is that the agents there dressed like Doctor Rey from Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon TV show (pink Italian shirts and lime green ties), so that tipped me off that the company was full of a lot of flashy, white collar criminals. They were supposedly all Ivy League and Stanford grads which I totally knew was not the case.
hmm, that is very hard. cuz i like to do a lot of stuff but life is way too short. i want to make video games,be a chef, architect, artist, film director and secret agent.anyways, im settling for video games right now.
Working in intercontinental operations, any single-aisle a/c is too small. I guess I'm just spoiled like that. I make extreme efforts to dig through timetables looking for 777 and 767 service if I have to fly domestically in the US even if it costs more while I avoid anything else like the plague. Then again, getting the free upgrade to intercontinental business is always nice.LOL - you guys are making fun of an airplane that's large by my standards!
I don't mind the larger single aisle A/C like the 737, 757 and A320. It's just the tiny regional jets with no room to stand, uncomfortable seats, tiny lavs, and hardly any overhead storage that I hate.
But I must say, I did fly a Lufthansa A340-600 from Frankfurt to Chicago, now that is one hell of a nice airplane with excellent service (and free booze!!!!). I would definitely make an effort to be on one of those planes on my next TATL trip. Just have to avoid FRA though if I'm catching a connecting flight, I think it took me almost an hour to make the connection from my incoming TXL flight to my outgoing ORD flight at FRA because the airport is so damn huge. A lot of walking!
Come next year when we get our 380s, the 747s will also be too small! That is, if they're used on the routes that I commute on.Snob! If you were filthy rich, even a Gulfstream would be too small!
Glad to see that you enjoyed your flights. Every time I read comments about passenger experiences with us in economy, they either love it because of the free liquor or hate it due to the lack of personal entertainment. And unless you're just in love with the lower deck toilets, take note that the entire longhaul fleet is being equipped with the same interiors that you had in the 346. As to connecting through Frankfurt, I agree that it is awful. It's a maze. Terminal one is in the process of being rebuilt now along with Terminal 3 in planning, so hopefully it's better in the future (try going through MUC next time).
Many miss our actual goals of reliability and punctuality. Our department of four people conducts random samples of passengers and those that return to us usually come back not because of inflight service or food/movie selection, but because we get them where they need to be on time safely. Many that leave negative feedback on those surveys are never seen again. Those were always my pet peeves, so being able to work with that alongside aviation is great (<-- on topic!).
Heh...I actually liked the johns on the lower deck. It wasn't as cramped when I had to wait and going up and down stairs was a good way to stretch out on the long flight. The only issue I had was the moron who thought it would be a good idea to sit on the narrow stairs, blocking them to watch her kids as they run around the toilet area....and she didn't speak a word of English so "Excuse me please" didn't mean anything to her and nor did someone coming down the staircase and trying to squeeze by. It really doesn't seem safe for someone to be sitting there.
yea but unfortunately she is dating the home alone kid.
for me it would be Recording Studio Engineer. im on my way to being one. have a nice little business running out of the Apt. do a lot of freelance jingles and such, but i want to be the head of a major studio's.
