Once reality set in and your complete and utter lack of research into the career showed it's face you realized you have no passion for aviation and now want to whine about how you made a bad choice for yourself online whilst trying to diminish the (realistic, I'll get to that momentarily) hopes of others. You, sir, need to find a new career, because you clearly can't handle this one. Please, leave this industry and save us all the hassle of your nonsense.
That's actually pretty accurate minus the catch me if you can reference. I didn't start flying til after college, I realized I didn't like what I was doing so I looked at the jobs available and found flying as something that was easy with the potential of maximum time off. I didn't do enough research and here we are today.
I respect your position, we clearly have different career goals and anything outside of being the most senior 777 FO getting max days off is unacceptable to me.
Eaglefly I'm hardly the only pilot that doesn't enjoy flying. We don't all own airplanes and fly around on our days off. It's a job, plain and simple.
