[QUOTE="Ramp77, post: 2325196, member: 63932"] I don't think you understand how the pilots really look at others. I worked on the Ramp for United as a fueler and loader for 16 years. Initially I felt the same as you until I actually talked to a few pilots and asked them about their jobs. Most were very friendly and gave me advice on how to become a pilot. It was not easy but I did it and have no regrets, I was also older than most when I started. In the case of Fedex, they have probably close 70% former military pilots, UPS is probably closer to 50% military. I think one of the biggest problems people have is that it is easy to look at a group and make generalizations without having all the facts. If you think pilots have such a great deal, learn about the job and go do it yourself. Otherwise make the best of your own situation. Ultimately we make our own choices. It is easier now than ever to become a pilot, but it is not easy. It is much easier to complain about what others have achieved. [/QUOTE]
