I just can't will myself to leave because I enjoy flying airplanes still, although that infatuation is starting to fade year by year. Maybe this is something all airline pilots go through, I don't know. Times are definitely tough right now for those of us @ the airlines. I keep hoping things will get better, but that is just so inconsistent with what I've experienced in this industry thus far...I have a high tolerance for the B.S. that comes w/ this job, that's another reason I've lasted as long as I have.
Well written...
I think that over time the fun side of aviation begins to subside while the shortcomings become more pronounced. Unless there is a pot of gold at the end of the regional rainbow it seem to me to be difficult to remain satisfied at work and to be able to stick it out.
