Sure, but that doesn't seem to be the point belfordrocks was making in the post where you took issue with belfordrocks' words.

Other than in your words above, nothing else posted in this thread within the past 36 hours has suggested anything about OMAAT owner being "in the same financial situation as your average flight attendant".

There are pilots and flight attendants who chose their jobs because they love to fly/travel or who chose their jobs because of what it means for their life and interests. I don't see any reason to feel sorry for pilots and flight attendants in general nor for the OMAAT owner in general. Free adults make their adult choices and get the pros and cons that come from their choices. Just like the choice OMAAT's owner made to get into the travel blogging business comes with being in the spotlight for all sorts of criticism here and elsewhere.
