HMMM, so much doom and gloom from you sky high, putting claim that this is the norm for the industry yet you are still the only one selling the story. I think you need to come out from under the carpet and realize you have made a picture in your head that is only in your head. Yeah this industry, like all others, have good and bad, but like all other industries the good is out weighing the bad, maybe not in lavish pay and more days off but aviation is not about pay and days off either. Well at least not for me.
