Guess what, Ace? There are plenty of decent jobs in commercial aviation besides the majors. I'd venture to guess that there a PLENTY of pilots who are more than happy not to have to deal with airport terminals, the TSA and being nothing but one of 15,000 butts in the seat.
Sure the majors pay well, but they're certainly not the be all and end all to aviation.
