And I’ve come across hundreds upon hundreds of utterly miserable p****s at places like Delta, supposedly working at the happiest place on earth, absolutely hating on life and treating everyone around them like crap. Some of them are in this thread!

If you live in a big boy base and you have a big boy offer letter, go if you want to! You’d be silly not to. But I’m really, truly sick of this “only dumb people stay here” nonsense, and anyone saying it is already so far gone down the lack-of-qol doom spiral that their “advice” is just as garbage nonsense as they think other people’s is. It’s the same kind of person at every airline, just miserable in their existence and projecting it onto everyone else, coming up with all these excuses why anyone else isn’t as miserable a turd as they are. “They must be delusional!” Just the worst kind of pilot to fly a trip with or be around.
