The 90's truly sucked in commercial aviation. Good for guys that made it work and got their careers going in the right direction. Night flying was hard. I did it for 2 years flying single pilot night freight in the early 90's. My plan was to go Fed Ex back then. I didn't have enough Turbine PIC back then to be competitive. But, it did work out fine. Maybe glad Fed Ex didn't come calling.
The 90's sucked real bad. From 92-99 I had 3 jobs. One flying, one military (guard), and one teaching. I hope those getting into this career now can just have a normal life and a more stable career path.
