Naw man. Just been around this business too long and seen too many things. I've learned that you can complain and ***** all you want but it doesn't change a thing except kill you early from stress. I used to say, "Man, I'll only be happy if I can work here or fly this airplane or get to this point in my career". Baloney. If you're a miserable person you'll be miserable and complain even if you are a MD-11 Captain at FedEx. I've seen it! You make yourself happy wherever you are, whomever you are flying for, and whatever you are flying. I look back years ago when I was flying for American Eagle. We made 12K a year and we spent all of our time complaining about Eagle. How we were getting hosed and they were getting rich and how could they sleep at night and do this to a human being. Yea it really sucked but it's where I met my wife and had some of the best times of my life. Too bad I wasted so much time complaining and letting complainers suck me in. I was always reaching for more and better but now I wish I had enjoyed it more cause man it goes quick and I'm only 41.

Good luck to you and may you find your dream job.
