I think it is the other way around, the minute someone says I want to be a pilot, I want to come back in aviation or need some career advice, everyone pounces on him like this sprofession is plague......

I know the struggle & the frustration & lack of adequate income at the initial stage in aviation. That is what made me quit once.

But that doesn't mean we start discouraging every newcomer by posting the HORROR stories.... Giving a true picture & discouraging are 2 different things......

If it is so BAD then why are so many stuck in it......... This is a free country, no one is holding any regional pilot hostage or to forced labour..

I have seen both sides, flying job with very little income, no room for progression, no growth and lot of frustration & non flying job with very decent money and a lot of unhappiness & dis-satisfaction in personal & professional life.

That is why people like me & baronrouge are here to seek advise & help not ridicule & negativity.......
