A little advice here from a guy that is NO NOVICE TO THIS PROFESSION. I have almost 30 years working for airlines. Eastern,
United, and now Continental.......trust me, ual is now continental......

LEAVE IT!! Do anything else!!! I dont care what you do, make yourself a better person and stay out of aviation. The industry
simply is NOT worth the hassle. The pay isnt anywhere it should be. I recently had a plumber come over and do some work.
Guess what? His hourly rate worked out higher than mine!! No checkrides, no FAA, no ATC delays, No TSA, no layoffs,
he might have bad management, but he can always leave and take his seniority with him.

Just like drugs. JUST DONT DO IT! Enjoy life, dont miss every holiday, every wedding, every birthday, etc. etc.

Just dont do it!! Before you waste another day, ask ANY major airline pilot what he would do. ANY!!

Sorry to bust your bubble,

J
