So much for just replacing them so easily.

Well it take about 3-4 years to train someone to perform the job.
I think they were replaced by some military guys,supervisors. People like that. Really, they had to train alot of people from scratch to my knowledge.
But it's not like they pulled them in and BOOM they were experts.
If that were the case you,me and and every joe blow could go get a job doing it anyday of the week,lol

Reagan did,but I was like 3 when he fired them all. I think that was about a contract dispute.

Charlie Brown it's a very serious job,buT this thought that guys are just sitting around all day eating chips and chilling is way off. Not saying you said that,but with all these stories coming out, I'm sure alot of the public probably has that perception.
These guys sleeping at night are usually working a 0600-1430, 8 hours off, and then have to be right back for a 2200-0600. You can't function like that. It's no different from cops,doctors, plant operators ( and I know ALOT of pl;any operators here in Texas ) 4 on, 4 off. 12 hour days. Shift work wears your body down. Not making excuse,but it is what it is.
Hey thats how the FAA has it set up. The FAA makes these rules up. But of course airlines,pilots,controllers,etc will shoulder the balme until the FAA decides to improve things.
Not making excuses,but that the way it is. As far as unions go ? I know people like to bang on that,but if there were no unions in this industry, airlines would pay us $7.00 and hour and double our work.
I like my job. But what if I WERE to quit and get another one? Where am I going to get one in this economy ? It's making a comeback,but slowly.
It's not like I have a fancy lifestyle. I live below my means.

Did I miss an accident involving 175 people ?
Or was this the tally of the local highways of an american city recently over an holiday period ?

As someonee who works in the industry it's easy to say get anothr job if you don't like it.
Like myself,most of my coworkers love our job and enjoy it. It is a passion, and speaking for myself I certainly don't do my job for the money or anything else.
Sleeping on the job is no excuse,but working long hours, and varying shifts,days, or multiple times zones is the name of the game in this line of work.
I sometimes wish people come spend the day when the weather is gone to sh*&, ( because everyone knows we control that :oP ) zero visibility, winter conditions in the northeast,or thunderstroms in the south or midwest. These aren't excuses,but everyday issuses that controllers and those in the industry have to deal with. Just a number of variables that can pop up and make a normal work day all the more hectic.
We work the schedules we're given or able to bid.
Half the people who bang on pilots,FA's or controlers can't drive a car down the highway without having a car accident.
i don't believe that there is such a thing as a perfect, or an ideal situation.
ideal is the more appropriate word to use, because the word itself denotes a conception, a remote possibility, not a reality.
i'm asking you, in your lifetime, have you ever found complete fulfillment, or felt complete within yourself, and your accomplishments?
wasblind : SHEEBA !!!!!! MMMMMmmmmm,lol
Myself. I think just recently I learned to be independent. I left a really good school. I was reaching out for the JW corporate ladder and trying to keep my life 'simple'.
My mom was more than willing to let me live with her as long as stayed busy in Jehovahs work,but by doing that you become less self reliant. Rather than finish school, I was content to stay in one spot at work. I'm still at the same company,but fortunately I no longer view moving to a better position as being materialistic or something that will take away time from the kingdom hall.
In short, though I am now on my own, take care of myself, etc. I feel this is something I should have been doing in my early 20's and I just turned 34. But I was content on keeping my life 'simple' Mainly school. I have about 51-52 credit hours and I left a really good school like a dummy.
What really got me thinking about school again is a friend of mine ( I'm really not sure if he's in or not still ) on facebook had gone to Patterson back in the day. I noticed he had earned an B.A. in Marine Biology from a local university. My first thought was WOW so and so went to Bethel AND he got his degree ?
i have noticed are more angrier then when i was a child in the 90's and that they seem more uptight.what changes have you seen?.
I second the fact of people just doing what they want to do.
Facebook. One friend whom just came back, and is involved heavily in the gym and does shows I believe. Is constantly posting pictures ofg such events or commentinmg on working out and such.
Today she posted a picture and stted she was able to aux pioneer for the first time in 10 years. A friend of hers commented, "______ you're a JW ?"
From viewing most of my friends profiles,it is hard to tell sometimes. 10-12 years ago youi wouldn't have to guess by an persons actions if they were a witness. Their would nbe no doubt. Now it seems most as some have already said, obey most rules,but bend those they feel don't apply to them or frankly don't care for.
I would say most now would be considered spiritually weak 10-13 years ago. Most watch movies I thought witnesses are not supposed to watch. Most I notice are quite liberal in their choice of music as well.
Many things. So many,that I often wonder why be a witness if you doing this or that ?
Todays Witness is a bit more liberal socially. At least the young ones and young adults.
when you were in the organization of jehovah's witnesses, did you shun legitimate courtship attempts from "worldly" men or women who were otherwise very desirable and suitable because they were non-believers?
.
did you fancy them as well, but tried to get them to study and come into the organization in order to justify the relationship?.
This thread makes me think of an experience when I was about 21,22 and regular pioneering. Two of my buddies were out in service and decided to stop over at McDonalds and grab a bite to eat before going to meet the group. When we walked in there were some girls at the counter talking and look over at us. One of them was a really pretty latina, dark eyes,black hair attractiver. Well when they were walking out and passing us, the girlm I noticed had written her number and name on a napkin.
One of my friends go awww dude, she gave you her number. My other friend was just staring at me and said ,"so whatv are you going to do with it ?"
I was like, "What ?"
He says "you going to throw it away right ?"
I threw it away.
There are a few people I think if I weren't so concerned about them not being JW's, maybe something could have come of it.
this is the po in my k-hall.
anyone else know him.. looks like he isn't trusting in jehovah for his daily needs.
