Thanks for the replies all. I suppose the advantage of still having a job (for now) is that I can still pick and choose where I want to go from here. But I've seen some job postings over there that I'm very interested in, and if I get a positive response from them, there is no question I will leave the industry. Believe it or not I've always been one of the more positive types in the pilot group, but everybody has their breaking point and I think I just reached mine. This has been a long time coming. I almost quit several times in flt school, and again when we nearly went broke on first year pay at my airline. I've been debating this decision all year, and this failure just crystalized it for me. And I agree that we should be held to ATP standards...again the failure was my fault, and I'll get back on the horse when the time comes. But im still leaving the industry as soon as I can. Yes, a lot of the items on my list have always been industry problems, and I knew that very well coming in. I just say why continue to subject myself to all that when my QOL could be much better elsewhere.
