combat flying has been defined as hours of sheer boredom punctuated with a few moments of sheer terror.

I never saw the appeal of being a career pilot. Flying for fun seems awesome. Flying the same route for hours a day as your job? No thanks.

my friend who's a pilot was always the guy that liked to be the driver when we went on a cruise, or he'd always stay sober enough to drive our drunken butts home after bar hopping.

bus drivers in the sky.
and pilots dont make crap until you get to the capt or first officer level on a big jet.
those little 2 engine regional connector pilots start out making around 30k a year.
I looked into, when I was thinking about attending Spartan School of Aeronautics in Tulsa.

The first thing that comes to mind is raid healing in wow. Boring repetitive task that might seem interesting the first time you did it that not many can or would be willing to do.
Raid healing also jump started my alcoholism.

My friend made less than that starting out.. he used to joke with us and pretend he was talking on the mic.. "Hi I'm your captain. If you knew I made 16k a year, you probably wouldn't want to be on this plane."
He's now flying the big jets and making $$

if you have military experience as as a pilot (fighter or otherwise) do you get to skip the regional jet pipeline with respect to tenure?

I'm not sure about that..
My friend wasn't in the military... he had to fly so many hours before he qualified for the from plane to plane... he went from the single engine, to dual engine to jet
his father was a navy pilot who used to land on aircraft carriers.

Actually, now that I think about it I think pilots are a lot like surgeons. They have the personality and passion for their skill where the challenge of doing it even better than the last time is enough to keep them interested. Most of us would get bored around the tenth time we landed at LAX or took out an appendix, but they just can't get enough...

Depends on what you were flying. The guys piloting a DC-10 or helicopter are actually in a better career position once they get out than the illustrious jet pilots.

ultralights fall under the experimental class, hence the no need for a license

Sport pilot only needs a driver's license instead of an FAA physical. The catch is that you're supposed to self-assess your fitness to fly and taking anti-psychotics is definitely going to rule that out. You could probably get the training and certification if you kept your mouth shut, but the second anything went wrong you'd be hosed...

I have heard that this is true, actually...
I knew a few pilots LCDR's and above that had jobs with the major carriers before they resigned,
but then again I came from the P-3 community so those are big 4 engined aircraft.

getting back on subject..
what my friend did to get the hours required was to be a flight instructor making crap money for a couple years at a little place in Louisiana. That way you don't have to flip the bill yourself for all the gas and such.. you pass the cost on to the student.

I blame Vael. Three months of wiping on him, then they tweaked Razorgore and we wiped on him for a month. Finally we got it down, but would usually stop raiding by the time we hit the fourth guy whose name I can't recall (just remember wing buffet because every idiot would pronounce it buff-fay over Vent)
I know we killed Nefarian a few times but to this day I have no idea how the fight works. Chromaggus is just as fuzzy.

My guild reguarlly made it to chromaggus and got stuc.
The only times that I dropped Nef was was when another guild needed a healer and knew I could pull it of. They never let me get any lot.

Not to take sides, but have you thought for a second that taunting insane people on the internet doesn't mean you'd do it in real life to an actual insane person who has the possibility of knifing you when they have a "break?"

Have you ever thought that the actual percentage of "insane" people who are actually f***ing violent is less than 1 f***ing percent or something else equally low? Take 5 minutes, educate yourself about the actual FACTS, not the freaking sensationalized bullsh*t and stop perpetuating stigma.

I taunt pretty much anyone.
Thursday I got drunk and made fun of two guys that were over 6'8" and outweighed me by at least 100lbs each by calling them bros repeatedly.
When I'm bored, I really stop caring.

That's funny. I have no desire to see you experience physical harm. As a matter of fact, I think you need serious help SOON before you inflict harm on yourself or one of the two or three people that are close to you.

Assuming you're being genuine, then i will give you a genuine response.
I have help.. Serious help. The PROFESSIONALS whose care i am under dont see me as a threat to anyone, so really you should stop worrying about it. I and those around me are in no danger.

I dont drink excessively. Unless two beers is excessive to you. And horror movies have no impact on my illness, but nice try.

You behave in such a stupid/insane manner that people don't think you can be real unless you're an elaborate troll.
You're so f***ed up that people don't want to believe that someone could be that f***ed up.

You know the funny thing? If you met me IRL you'd probably like me. Im not very articulate online which means that my goal to never hide my illness (to fight stigma) makes me come across as a little crazier than i am. But basically im a likeable, charismatic and (dare i say it), basically normal person IRL, if a little shy at times. You wouldnt immediately go "OMG SHE'S CRAZY" because it's not immediately obvious, unless i tell you. Online? Not so much, im a lot more vocal and maybe that works to my detriment. But i still refuse to change because i think people with mental illnesses shouldnt feel like they have to hide or cover up.

Sooz, I know a few people like you in real life.
I don't like you.
I put up with you because I don't want anyone to get stabbed and because I'm good at maintaining the peace.
Does that mean I like you? No.. I just pretend to.

That is why I was looking at Spartan, when you graduate from their pilot program you have around 1000-1500 flight hours with all your different ratings and a bs/ba degree in something aviation related. So you get to skip that step but its still a long ladder to climb before you can earn the big bucks flying 777's and such.

The college nearby has a degree in Aviation - Helicopter Pilot. I took the first quarter of classes for that, really enjoyed them actually, but then after I was diagnosed with cancer, decided to give it up, I'll be old enough when I get the all clear on my medical that the number of years I could fly will not make up for the $60k cost to get to 1500 hours.
