I agree with that sentiment 110%.

That said, much earlier in this thread you said, and I quote: "where do you people live where 40,000a year is enough to live on. Maybe my problem is where I live, and the Industry is fine after all"

A "major airline" job, in the previous form we all knew and love, is dead and gone. It isn't coming back. Small jet pilots today must adapt to the realities of 121 flying.

Good luck...
