Zero ability to interact with with people, Multiple divorces, kids hate them, etc. Not all, but I would say a good 25%. To be honest, I was surprised at how many trainwrecks I have flown with only being with the airline for 15 months. With that being said, they have treated me well and are solid pilots, but I am not sure they could easily bring in capt pay in another industry.
Dang. I can't even think of the last ER Captain I flew with who was close to that level of train wreck. What category are you in, so I can avoid it?
On the plus side, if they burn through wives like cars, the kids hate them and they can't interact with people, they may be suited for a 7 figure career on Wall Street.
