It’s all about perspective.
Absolutely agree here. I talk to pilots of varying levels in their careers, and hear some of the butthurt and just have to laugh. In all reality..is it really that bad? Go be a cop in the ghetto for a couple years, then come back to me and tell me how bad it is. Yeah, you paid a lot to get where you are, and the money sucks for a bit, but there's upward mobility..simply based on SENIORITY. Nothing else. You name me a job that has that ability. Not many left.
