I don't like being poor.
I don't like being disrespected and treated like filth by my employer.
I don't believe that the typical airline career can lead to future prosperity.
And lastly I do not have any faith that this industry will do anything other than continue down hill. The success stories of today will be the hard luck cases of tomorrow. I am sorry if you guys don't have the same perspective as I. I am different. I measure what had been lost against what is yet to be gained. After all the sacrifices, moves, pain and losses in the end it is only a job and a poor one at that.
The path to a successful airline career leads to the destruction of everything else.

You can say all that, but deep down you miss it, deep down you still want a piece of it, otherwise you would not be here on message board with other airline pilots. It must be hard, it is something I hope I never have to live through. I sincerely wish you the best.
