The fantasy
The fantasy of a flying career always is sweeter than the reality. Don't forget to add that flying for an airline is boring as heck. You fly the same plane on the same ILS over and over and over again. Your life begins to blur into a replication of the same days onto eternity.
Up until now aviation has been rapidly changing for you. From this point on all challenge and creativity in your flying stops. As an airline pilot you are merely an automaton. A human computer that regurgitates the same actions as everyone else when promoted by the situation. Your goal is to be average.
As an airline pilot you go to work at the factory and manufacture approach and landings all day long.
Seriously if the reality is hitting you early I would take it as a blessing and as a sign of superior intelligence. Go back to college to get a business degree.
Surrender hope all ye who enter here.
