That’s pretty nuts, my spouse is an EWO. What was your dad’s platform?

If he really wants to know about it, he should marry his father-in-law.

So a pilot’s opinion does count and in the air a first officer/captain has a lot of authority, but flight attendants have a different boss than pilots do. Technically a pilot is not a flight attendant’s superior in the traditional sense. Of course it doesn’t change the fact that they’re still cooped up with them and…

No she’s totally going for my good looks and charm, I’m not subtly forcing her by jeopardizing her safety or means of providing for herself, every 20-something wants to bang my doughy, old ass -every boss who’s slept with a subordinate ever

What did that have to do with the intraoffice nature of their relationship vs him losing any much younger girlfriend?

See he thinks cause he didn’t violently rape them that it was consent.

I’m very much a “my work is my work and my personal life is my personal life” type of person but even I can understand that it’s not hard to form relationships with people that you see for the vast majority of your waking hours. The fact that it is so common is proof that it’s difficult not to. We evolved to form…

“The way the service industry is going, 15% is not a base tip anymore — since when is the standard 20%? When I waited tables, you got and expected 20% or more if you just really pushed the envelope. Otherwise, 15% was the standard.”

This. Reach down, find your balls (ladies, you can do this too, I promise) and get out of the car. They don’t think you’re serious? Calmly call the police.

There’s actually a physiological change that happens in the brain; even a neurotypical person insulated from the effects of their decisions or the full range of human reactions will lose the ability to read other people’s emotions and feel them sympathetically. They also become insulated by feeling as if they’re…

It does have those nuances, but when the rubber hits the road it comes down to “I cared about me more than I cared about whatever we built together and how this would hurt you, honey.”

tl;dr: I’m autistic af, feel free to just click the links and learn all kinds of stuff from various places (if you only click one, get the understood.org one)

You gave a precise example of exactly what this guy said about how you are essentially chained to an employer unless you want to take a huge pay cut to leave. http://thetruthabouttheprofession.weebly.com/the-ugly.html

Really? A taxi driver drives a car, which is something everyone and their brother insists they can do (I disagree, but that’s beside the point). A commercial pilot operates aircraft so safely they can carry hundreds of people and almost always not kill them. And that 80k isn’t a median, it’s a mean salary. That…

Ok Mr. Pink from Reservoir Dogs, regardless of your ideological differences about tipping aside, how much did minimum wage buy back when you waited tables? Compare that to how much minimum wage buys now. It’s called inflation and wage stagnation. Look it up.

Theoretically yeah but anyone below captain with a commercial airline actually makes squat. It depends on the market but they usually make less than $50k, often as low as $25k, and if they didn’t get their wings from the military they have significant debt from getting their commercial license as well. I agree with…

Pretty much, yeah.

Yeah, so?

Right? Ain’t this the same cadre of dudes who think wind farms will steal all the wind from the planet?

Yeah fat ass GZ gonna get close enough to these guys to do it? Ok.
