Question about planes in the sky?

Ok so I don't live in an area where there's an airport near me, checked on flight radar just to be curious as to what these aircraft might be but they didn't show up on the tracker.

Are US airport CBP officers notorious for being rude?

I'm curious about some of you guys experiences with them because I recently started flying overseas to fulfill my quest of seeing the world. Am I expected to anticipate rudeness every time I land back in the states? Is that apparently "the culture" in our country of USA?

Why are US airlines so bad? - 1

First of all, complentary food is nonexistent in coach in the US (not even on 6 hour cross country flights) while it's commonplace in other countries (example: China). The for purchase menus are also generally rubbish as well with no hot food and limited supply such that they run out of stuff quickly and passengers have to fight to be to get their orders in. Second, US carriers' planes are always in terrible shape. The plastic panels are yellowed, and badly scratched and scuffed up, seats are heavily worn and battered, and all the furnishings very dated and look like they havn't been updated in 20 years. Legroom is inferior as well. The worst legroom I've ever had on a longhaul flight was on a United on a 14 hour flight to Hong Kong with my knees literally jammed up against the seat in front (I'm not exceptionally tall). The Air Canada plane I took on the return trip was noticibily more comfortable. Lastly, don't even get me started on surly flight attendants (and ground staff) and countless stories of people getting thrown off flights (sometimes by force). US cabin crews act more like onboard police (and are granted such powers by the FAA which makes disobeying FAs a crime why I don't believe is the case anywhere slese) with service as a secondary function claiming safety to be primary (I hightly doubt US flight attendants have superior safety training to those elsewhere).

Moving to Illinois? Good idea?

I'm a young professional who loves to travel and experience new things. I'm originally from Chicago but live in Wisconsin. I have been think about moving back for a while. I want to be located by an airport and experience city life again. I don't want to live in the inner city, but I want to work there. I'm nervous because ill be leaving my mom and siblings in Wisconsin and I will be leaving a job that I recently started in November but i'm not happy here.

Should i take on flight school?

I'm contemplating whether to do this or not. I have always loved flying and it would be a dream come true but the time and the cost to until you get to become an airline pilot is alot. The school it self will take 2 years and after that i can go work for a small charter airline/ plane making about 40 grand a year. Or become a flight instructor While doing this i can build my hours. Which will take a couple of years. I'm about to join the air force soon. But i have been waiting for a while so i don't know how everything will pan out. I have other careers in mind that i don't mind doing will probably take less time and will pay well too. I would really like to fly planes but at the same time i don't want to put all this time and effort and then, in the long run, find out its nothing I ever wanted to do you know.
