Rick,
I think what you describe is your desire for a hobby flying airplanes - not working as a professional pilot. If you don't care about compensation, and just want to have fun and go fly places. Save yourself some grief - buy an airplane and have all the fun you want. You could fly places and see all you want - without having to worry about living on $19/hr.
One day you'll be old and need a retirement. If you don't care about that, you aren't going to be surrounded by like-minded individuals at the airlines who are willing to fight for a higher standard of living.
Flying airlines is a kick, making a living doing it is not.
Good Luck.
