If not, quit being a dick, and start being respectable, and submit your application. Are you on any professional standards committees or emergency response teams? Why not?
Any job is boring if you have no intention to excel.
I don't think that flyerNy was talking about boredom. He was referring to the open ended misery, loss and hardship that a career in aviation can offer in return for a lifetime of devotion, sacrifice and love.
To someone who got their dream job at 25 the industry might seem just and rewarding. The reality and future prospects for most is not so savory.
