Exactly correct. Even at the rate the majors are hiring now and in the near future, the fact of the matter is NOT EVERYONE will land a job at a Major airline. Do the math. Compare the number of ATPs in the U.S. and the number of Major Airline jobs.
You'd better have an alternative plan if the dream doesn't pan out.

let's face it in the scope of what can be considered hard work being an airline pilot can hardly classify as that, that's part of the appeal, especially when it comes to why anyone wants to fly at the major level, let's face it being an airline pilot is the best part time job in the world...
You hit the nail on the head, Brother!
Or as I've been told, "You Part 121 pilots are used to everything being done for you." I had to admit, he was right.
