Who am I if I'm a pilot and an A&P mechanic? I'd love to be home every night again, but conversely, I don't even like changing my own oil anymore.
Re: the fancy uniforms, I'd be pretty happy if I could wear my corporate gig uniform when flying for UA. That's jeans & sneakers in winter and shorts & flip-flops in summer^
BTW, I wouldn't fly an airplane that wasn't maintained by anything other than a pro, as in you and planemechanic!
