Take This Job And Shove It
It seems the new folk heroes are those who quit their jobs in a dramatic and spectacular way. I'm starting to sense echoes of the 70s, when a surly fuck-the-establishment attitude was starting to rise up. Ultimately Reagan channeled that and the rest is history.

4. Are you serious? You can probably get hired. They aren't paid that well
The hours are horrible
You can't have a personal life for the first 5 years

And the passengers are RUDE. And you can't do shit about it.

I wouldn't want their job.

5. xultar, I'm unemployed,
have been looking since November, and have had exactly 2 callbacks.

Yea, I'd take it, but I'm undoubtedly too old.

you get the flying benefits and everything.

I'm sorry to hear that you are unemployed. Where are you. If I hear of anything good I'll pm you. Hey,what area do you live in?

7. Fuck Yea!
I read the details and this guy had every right to say fuck off to the establishment...
Not only did he have a lot on his personal plate, but if you think about how flight attendants have been collectively shit on, just as much as us passengers...probably more.

I would've grabbed the tequila though! ;)
