SkyHawq,
It seems to me that most people get into aviation because they want to fly jets. Your priorities have just changed. QOL is more important to you than continuing to fly for a living. There is nothing wrong with that but I can bet you that if all these kids are getting in glassy eyed and then you were the same way when you got in.
I have tried and failed more things in my 10 years on my own then most people in their whole entire life. I don't go through life with blinders on because I have learned it doesn't help. But I do believe in overnight success. You know... the kind where you bust your tail forever and then out of nowhere people think you just popped out a success.
Noone owes anyone anything. The aviation industry doesn't owe any of us anything. If you believe the aviation industry failed you it's because you believe it owes you something.
And why do I need to inflate my ego. I am just another post on an internet message board.
SkyHawq,
Your post is one of the most frightening things I have ever read on this forum.
"QOL is more important to you than continuing to fly for a living". What are you some kind of martyr? This is supposed to be a JOB and not a quest to throw your life away over. You are the poster child for everything that is wrong with this industry. Pilots who are prepared to throw their lives away over nothing. Factory created pilot mill losers who are trying to buy their way to happiness with a 100K loan.
By many accounts I was a success at aviation. In fact I bested most to all of my graduation class. In the end it was I who decided that the benefits payed out by the airlines simply wasn't good enough. If you have no self respect and are prepared to throw "
QOL" away then you can have it. You haven't even gotten out of the gates yet, and still you feel obligated to assault me for demanding more. I hate to tell you but there is a big fat surprise in your future. Seems like another failure is in store for you and this time with a 100K price tag.
Good Luck because you will need it,
SkyHigh
