You got it wrong, I'm not wishing blight on anyone. Just my perspective from 33 plus years in this "industry". Thats just it--you CANT count on the airlines to feed your family. This "job" is nothing but a shadow of the great career it once was.
If you don't have a hell of a strong backup plan, your kidding yourself.
