That statement is 100% true...cuz I think I have it...You need to post that in every single thread that has something to do with, "I'm thinking about being a pilot...can someone give me advice...do you like being a pilot...etc." As sad as it may be, despite all the troubles and risks that are present in the airline industry today, I can't get rid of the disease. There is much more information that tells me not to be a pilot than tells me to be a pilot; yet, I just cannot get rid of the disease. It looks like I'm going to have to drop $50,000+, put up with making a pauper's salary for a few years, live in a dump, put up with commuting, etc. just to get rid of the disease, unless I come to my senses some time in the near future. I don't understand what my problem is. SaltyDog, you couldn't be more correct.
