I'm sure alot of people are just nervous, its like watching my dad in 2002-2003, he is a A&P for UAL, I remember him looking at other career options, all stressed out for over a year, luckily it worked out but I think thats just what alot of people are thinking, especially the guys/gals that dont have the PIC to go to a major, I wouldnt want to just have to start over again at XYZ regional if flying is all they want to do. Chatting soothes the stress.
