It is not hard to find work in most areas and in your post two above this one you are saying a $500 a week job is easier to come by... well guess how much take home pay is for a regional fo after paying for crappy medical benefits, meals on the road, ...? Not far off the $500 a week at home depot. I worked at home depot in college and was able to make $12 an hour as a complete moron, college kid. I know everyone likes to justify this career with "it is tough out there" but you can find a job if you need one and roll up your sleeves.

You could replace this job and I would bet that like most people that have done it they would find that they are happier. There is more to life then flying an airplane for a company that treats you like a cog in a machine.
