Skyhigh,
I'm still not in agreement with you. I'm at a different point in my life than I was then and decided it was time for a change. It's not for everyone but there are many out there for whom it's their calling. I'm still in the industry, just in a different capacity. My experience is why I landed where I did and I'm happy about that. There is life outside the airlines if you want to stay in aviation without the "joys" of the airline industry.
