"We, the pilots who continue to trod along waiting for the industry to recover to days of past are the crazy ones!"

Well, you gonna be the first one to quit? That's Skyhigh's advice. The more that walk away the better for those who stay. Who's gonna go first?

Saab, you could make 65K selling medical supplies. Meritflyer quit Xjet to go back into that line of work. He's making bank now. Just do it....

Things worked out for me and I wasn't even trying that hard. No one knows the long term future. Even Skyhigh. My Aloha buddy just joined this site. He's looking at going to Japan, 13.5K a month, home 10 days a month, they buy tickets to and from. Maybe that's the near term future. If that doesn't work for you, then fine, but I think putting every pilot in a box and saying "the job isn't worth it" is going a bit far. It's "worth it" to some people.

Who's gonna quit first?
