Sky High, You are one of the true breaths of fresh air around here.....You do see things for what the are...All too many wish only to "reinterpret the stressors" to use sensitive new age terminology....Which really means sugar coat the turd....I have had a life in this industry and had a much better ride than most(have been a legacy 747 Captain for 14 years and am 53) and when you see how fragile the career is, how little transferability exists and the dollar cost of entry/lost opportunity income years....offset by the current pay rates, there is little to truly justify a career in this business if one is young enough to leave...Keep up the good posts!
