That doesnt really instill motivation to work for an airline
My F/O told me that he can't believe that I mentor people in this industry when there are so many other ways to make money. Of course he didn't say he was looking for ways to get out and find something else. The thing is most of us love flying airplanes and getting paid to do that makes it even better. At career fairs I always say that if you don't have that burning desire to fly airplans find something else. Don't mind the nay sayers.
