My point is that it is also a decision to no longer be a pilot. Unfortunately I don’t think that sinks in for many until after the fact.
That's definitely a valid point with regards to flying less. It's a necessary evil I'd say if someone wants the gig.
To other people saying all CP's / ACP's are evil, pilot hating company plants, maybe that's been your experience. I know the ACP I work under will go to bat for me at a moments notice. That's the kind of person I want in that role. If/when they move on, I think everyone in our pilot group would say it will be a big void to fill.
