    You know, for the money you'd put in trucking school, and then buying a used tractor to become a lease operator somewhere, you could get yourself a commercial pilots license, and get on with a regional jet airline, and then a major airline.

    Same investment of money, just a much higher return. No college required.

    The industry is experiencing the biggest pilot shortage in modern history. Just a thought.

    But you get yer pick of the flight attendants....very few drivers could meet the hearing and vision requirements, let alone be able to take off without missing a gear
