CRM, You came to this website seeking advice and got it from experienced flyers/airline pilots who know the industry. You may not like what they said but they are being honest and what better advice than from people who are actively involved in it on a daily basis.

I'm just a CFI who wants a career also-but I have made some changes to long term plans based on what the people on this forum tell me the industry is doing. The best advice, I believe Rick stated this, is to go through training at your local FBO, continue working, and hope things get better in the future!
