Yep, "the have to go to work part" is what I have been avoiding my whole life. Seriously, it is a great job, but it is true about hours upon hours of boredom interrupted by moments of sheer terror... or not seeing the runway at 50' above the ground landing in heavy fog (we still hand fly these approaches at my company, (most airlines have automatic landing equipment)). I like the statement that they make more than they know what to do with. Dave and I do not have that problem. We know how to spend every dime!
Funny article. Thanks for sharing.
