Many days away from home, many days at home. Low pay in the beginning. Sitting around airports for long periods of time. Occasional furlough and/or strike. Inconvenient schedules. Expensive airport food. Running from gate to gate (figuretivly speaking). Staying in stinky hotels and crash pads. Oh ya...and they let you fly an airliner.
Take it in that order and I think you'll do just fine.
I'm not saying that I live in an "aviation" family but I do have relatives who have flown in the airlines so I'm pretty aware of the whole deal. I was backing up the fact that "unbiased truth needs to be presented to 'youngins' and let them decide" lol.
Doesn't matter though.
