Avroman sounds hard to please. Most every complaint on this message board is rooted in a pilots desire to fly for a living. Their desire to fly is so great they try hard to do it despite the circumstances that exist at the company they choose. They seldom will leave once there even as circumstances change since the seniority based rewards program discourages the practice. A pilots worst enemy is another pilot. For those thinking about this industry get informed and be realistic. Don't delude yourself into thinking you are about to date a 10 when its at best a 4, usually more like a 2. The upside, and this can be corroborated by anyone who has worked a different job which pays more, the piloting job is pretty easy. Sure you can make more money being a Doctor, Lawyer or Finannce type but you will actually be asked to work and you won't be able to shoot the breeze, play on your iPhone, read a magazine, or YELL OUT 'LIVIN THE DREAM ON GUARD.' You will be forced to actually work.

So for those young guys and gals in college choose. Do you want to goof off most of your time, MOST not All, or do you want a real job where you make real money. BE REALISTIC about your desires and you will have a more enjoyable career and of course some luck helps.
