You are right, my post was not very constructive at all.
I apologize for being negative, I should have remembered that I felt the same way when I was a young pilot, too. It's easy to get down on the industry, but that's no excuse.
At the same time, it is important to enter this industry with your eyes wide open...it does not offer the level of financial reward it did only a few years ago, and airlines are taking drastic measures to cut costs (usually resulting in a lower quality of life for pilots). But most days, it still beats working for a living.
I will be happy to help you in any way I can. Please don't hesitate to PM me if I can offer advice or help out.
