Sounds like the general consensus. Means it will take quite a while longer to get there, but that's life, I suppose.
I'm definitely taking notice of the jaded and scorned people around here, though. It's completely understandable... being a pilot today is nothing like it was 30+ years ago, and that's a shame. I suppose a discussion of how it got to this point and if it will ever be good (or even decent) again is better posited elsewhere (actually, I'm sure it has been ad nauseum here). I would like to avoid loathing my career choice, if at all possible
, but at the same time, I would like to do something I find rewarding, challenging, and gets me out of this damned jail cell of a cubicle.
