On the topic of you not liking the delivery of our message. You couldn't be a larger hypocrite if you tried. You've spent so long opining about a subject you clearly don't know about with a stereotypical "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" message that it borders on comedy. You're literally the walking definition of a boomer. Thinking the world hasn't changed or that whatever worked for you before must surely work elsewhere. Without taking the time to understand why things are the way they are. You just expect others to listen simply because you're a successful business owner. Maybe there is a little bit more to the equation than you realize and either keep your mouth shut if you don't know, or take the time to ask why things are the way they are before offering outdated or irrelevant opinions.
What are you going to do about your situation Tbayer?
Many years ago I was in a somewhat similar situation. I was an employee in an industry with no future, in which my hours were certain to go up and my compensation down.
I chose to uproot everything, roll the dice, move across the country, and start my business on a shoestring. It was insanely risky, insanely stressful, but…it worked. Bigly.
I didn’t bitch and whine on the Internet, and troll people willing to offer advice, I’ll tell you that much.
What are you going to do? What’s your long term plan?
Have you not noticed that I've never asked you to explain yourself to me? Thats because you don't owe me anything, not even an explanation. On that same tune, I don't owe you a single thing. Specially not to someone that sees nothing wrong with opining about a subject they clearly know very little, if anything about. But I'll indulge you because you clearly assume that anyone who bitches on avcanada must not be doing anything else. I guess by that logic I should be questioning all your claims.
Anyways. I'm brand new at my current outfit and have some things to learn before I join the union and help with change initiatives. But I was part of it at my previous job and volunteered my time towards union/pilot causes.
On a more personal note, I believe firmly in financial independence from your employer. Because I believe one should love their job, but not their employer. Following that logic, I've been an investor since I was 18 and currently have a few properties to my name that make me rent money every month. I also trade options with my money. But don't worry, I'm not doing anything naked so no need to lecture me on the risks of that. Just selling covered calls on very blue chip stocks, which translates to low premiums, I know. But it substantially decreases my risk. I think the riskiest options I do is buying deep in the money calls with high Delta. But even that isn't risky with non volatile stocks.
But you know what I don't do? I don't go around professional traders telling them how to do their job simply because I know how to do a very specific thing. I don't pontificate to land developers simply because I've found success with a few properties.
Again, maybe the reason you find so many not taking a liking to your comments is more to do with your delivery than your message. Because from the first time I remember seeing your posts, you come off as an arrogant, condescending individual. It was the cherry on top to see you admitting that you have no idea how the one thing that affects everything from pay to quality of life for a pilot, works. Yet you see thing wrong with telling us your opinions on what we should do. Stay in your lane and feel free to pontificate on whatever the @#$! you've been so successful at.
