For the second part- have you ever actually worked an office job? I mean a real no-flying, grind out admin all day office job? It sucks. The line at Delta on it's worst day on the MD-88 doing 5 legs a day into ATL in summer is better than any office gig.
Welllllllll........actually for some guys not.
I've told this boring story a thousand times to a thousand poor guys
but, you think that cuz your actually a pilot. I was on the staff in the USAF with guys like you and me who counted the days till we went back to line fighter/flying squadrons. However, there were lots and lots of guys who "like working the issues" (quote from a good friend who hit the ATC staff as a captain and retired as an 0-6 on the staff).
I saw these guys as a UPT instructor. They were academy guys who were there cuz their friends were there. They were ROTC guys who were there because their dad's were pilots. Anyway, you get the picture.
That's why I've never bought the DPA thing that it will all change. I predict those office guys will be doing DPA office stuff in 5 years after the name change. The more things change the more they remain the same
