Anybody who doesn’t take the time to take a good hard look into the prospects and viability of a company he/she intends to invest years of their life into, or a major they intend to invest decades of their life into, is doing a disservice to him/herself and their family, especially in this career field where relative seniority is the name of the game and anytime you have to start over you go to the bottom.

And anybody with a sort of ‘Inshallah’ attitude, who believes that “The facts and numbers you mention could change overnight wether for bad or good,” and that we therefore ought not to worry ourselves about them, ought to seriously ask themselves if 121 flying is the right career for them.
