"If someone is taking measure of this profession and is using as a yardstick job security, financial rewards, quality of life, control over your own life, future prospects and of building professional value then this industry it is a losing proposition. There are few aviation jobs worth having anymore. The odds of making it to one of the better companies are too long for most rational people. At this point even the better companies are in doubt. "
I've been reading your posts for a long time now on this forum - but I must say.....you have to be one of the MOST disgruntled and negative people I have ever heard.
Save the reply to this e-mail because I've heard you say how you want to make people see the truth and advise them to get out of ,or never enter, this profession (just read above quote) but really.....you are OVERBOARD!
I actually don't begrudge you the attitude - I've met plenty of people who had a terrible time in the military - but at least most of them got out and said - "hey the military didn't work for me - maybe it will be better for you" - but this constant running down the entire industry is....well...tiring. Like many others have said - if it was that bad - this let it go.
I wish that you would start your own forum with reasons NOT TO join the airline industry. I want some good with the bad or the other way around.
