Married - no kids. I read it. And while I agree with most of what he said regarding "pilot", if you took "airline" out an substituted "auto manufacturer" or "computer maker" or "retailer" or...you could have exactly the same comments about that company. The grass is not greener. If you love flying, being a pilot is a great job. If you don't, then it isn't. Find something else. Piloting is what it is, regulations, oversight, long hours away from home, proficency check's, ramp checks...

I admit after six years in the biz I'm still surprise at the number of pilots that hate it, but won't change...I guess the money and time off is still to good...
