When we CFI life will be better at a regional, when we get to a regional life will be better at a major. When that goal is reached life could be better at Fed Ex instead of CAL. You get my drift. It's all in the attitude but for most people they are never happy no matter what something else will always be better. i see the same things in other occupations, just stay positive and don't the "the grass is greener" bug bite you.
Good post. I agree. If I listened to all the negativity from people for the last 15 years (from no ratings and flight time to a job at UPS), I would probably be a doctor right now (which wouldn't be bad but I'd rather be a pilot). Of course, I am sure I would have heard the same thing about being a doctor as I heard about being a pilot. "You mean a nurse/flight attendant?" "It's soooo hard/competitive to be a doctor/pilot" etc. etc. People like to be negative because they don't have the drive/motivation to do things themselves. I just don't listen and do what I want to do.
