Default Haven't flown in a long while...

Sadly, this does seem to be one terrible downside of flying for a
living,
and I've seen it, too. These guys start out as kids who want to fly,
become flight instructors, build hours, and then move into flying
freight in
the middle of the night.

It seems by the time they get to 747 captain, they've had to fly so
much, in
every kind of crappy weather, with every kind of passenger, that it
just
wrings the love of flying right out of them.

That's what I think too, also I think that driving them widebodies must
be like driving a bus ( not that I wouldn't give my third nut to be a
captain of one g ). I would prefer Ferraris over a school bus anyday
of the week, if you know what I mean.
