I'm not in denial. I know what I'm getting into and I'm okay with it. There is a difference. I've worked in other industries that pay better and I hated them. I love what I do now and wouldn't change it. People here are all adults, let them make their own decisions. This is the most negative and hostile forum I have ever browsed in my 14 years of using the net. I come here for info and leave disgusted with many of the users bitterness and cynicism. Why don't you go down to the local grocery store and whine to the 50 year old cashier about the "horrible" life of an airline pilot. If you don't like it then leave!
