It is incongruous for you to say that SkyHigh made a great post and then say "to each his own" because he doesn't think that. He thinks that it is not a viable path for anyone.....at all.
Also, a successful aviation career does not require the sacrifice of one's family. One's family might have to make sacrifices but, which worthwhile field does not involve sacrifice? My family has remained intact through hard times on many occasions.
Good luck and I hope you are well compensated from FLOPS getting sued.
Thanks, but i wasn't one of the ones terminated on Friday. I left two yrs ago. I saw the writing on the wall I guess. Hey man, sky high isn't being negative, he is just speaking the truth. Some of these kids on here need to know what it's really like. Especially the career changer forum posts on jetcareers.com. Those guys are scaring me! Like I said before, I will never discourage anyone from entering the pilot profession, because I did.
