I have a perspective that is becoming less common. As a legacy pilot during the good times (pre- September 11th) and as a JB pilot going on nearly 15 years.
Yes, there were pilots who were miserable. For me, I looked at it as winning the lottery...six-figure pay, great benefits & retirement, lots of opportunities, great choice of domiciles. I couldn't care less about morale at work. I was happy, even happier when they threw a bunch of money at me.
