You have to remember that the general public has no ideas of the hardships of being a junior regional FO (where your airline career will begin).
Many come on here full of enthusiasm not realizing that they will probably spend $75,000 just to become qualified to get the position, and then get start off in reserve, in whatever city they assign you regardless of where you want to go, and get paid the vast sum of $25,000 per year.
Many on here are negative in hope that the dreamers will move on. Only the ones who are really committed to joining the career will take on board the information and decide to proceed.
