Fortunately Im not burned out yet as I have only been doing the part 121 thing for a year and a half or so. I can totally see it getting to me if I let it some day. Sometimes I think what would make 121 not such a drag. Obviously we have been fighting for better pay and a less insulting QOL. That's not going to change for the better anytime soon. What would be neat would be something like "part-time" airline flying job. I have a feeling we are going to have an airline pilot "overage" in the future. Instead of burning everyone out and ruining our passion for flying they could offer a position in which you were on reserve for about 8 days a month. Say on the weekends or something. Then you could feed the passion and live a normal life. Just dreaming I know. Something interesting to think about. Seems more realistic then getting that significant pay raise we have all been waiting for.
