Wow... how dare you not tow the whiny, disgruntled pilot line and be miserable. And to not want to spread misery? Unthinkable!
Life is what you make of it. It's good to see a pilot having a positive attitude. If only there were more of it here, this would be a web site worth visiting more often.

Get into the industry while you can because many of these opportunities are going to evaporate here pretty quick and might not come back around for quite awhile.
Mesa and the Dash 8 have treated me well over the last 5 yrs. I can't speak for the rest of the company, but there are pilots who are happy and content right now @ MAG, as hard as that may be to believe.
Good luck to all aspiring pilots right now trying to break into this industry.
