No way in Hades I'd be able to do that if I hadn't abruptly halted the airline route. Truck driving isn't bad and owning my own plane will definitely ease the pain of not having that airline job. It just wasn't meant to be. I can afford the training or the low pay; not both. Maybe someday I can get into a King Air or something. CFI'ing sounds like a lot of fun as well for my free time.

Sometimes you gotta let it go. This whole thread is pretty good evidence of that for me. Seems like after someone goes to college for four plus years and pays 30-60-80K for flight training and multiple years of experience building, a thread like this shouldn't even exist.

Good luck, mates. I really hope you guys get something going soon. Maybe the pool will dry up eventually and something will change. I'm rooting for you.
