Don’t get me wrong, I understand every job has its negatives and some companies are better than others to work for. But, how about a little perspective here folks? You’re flying jets and getting paid. Maybe it’s not glamorous or exactly where you want to be at the moment...but still one of the coolest jobs out there. I am fortunate enough to have worked in another industry for 20 years before deciding to go to flight school and I have seen the same types of people over the years in that industry. Nothing but bad things to say. If being a regional airline pilot is so bad (not specific to gojet forum), then leave and find something else that makes you happy. No one is stuck. I appreciate the factual information I get here...but the whining and non-stop badmouthing is terrible.
