Do you guys have a passion for aviation at all? Doesn't sould like it to me.

You take the good with the bad and make your life work out....Thats what proactive people do...Reactive people blame management, the price of oil, weak unions, etc...They blame everything / everyone except themselves for their problems.

I'm not perfect or even close but I know how to hold my head up high and am not worried / concerned that I'm going to be a poor, uneducated, under employed professional pilot. If its not working out its time to look at myself and change those things I have control over...
