Sorry to tell you....I left the pilot group not only better...but way better off than I found it. My entry into this "discussion" was simply trying to put things in perspective. 2 years won't "extensively harm or damage" a career. My definition is it will be a "blip" . It definitely wont make it shi**tier, unless you think it is shi**y now. If one does(legacy pilot), then I certainly question their perspective.

But everyone is entitled to their perspective. At least this is my perspective that I put forth to my legacy pilot kids, 1 of which was a 2 year capt(so not envious) .... proud of their good fortune would be closer to my thoughts.
