I've come to expect nothing but sadness and bitterness from this section of the forum. Everytime I feel down, I look into here and quickly realize how well my life has turned to work out. I never aimed at the regionals, nor did I ever think half a million other pilots would ever leave enough room for a kid like me in a major's cockpit. Pilots are a dime a dozen, now and forever. Selfinduced gunshot wound to the head. Instead of realizing that, we keep producing lemmings that will take the 20K jobs drooling heavily for some quality time in a CRJ pushing buttons and feeding banana's to the guy on the left seat. When they can't trash the airline industry with their kind of slavery, they'll go out and ride GA into the ground for good. This is what's happening now.
For heavens sake - please stop associating accepting a minimum wage job to QOL. Doing that is like trying to bull**** a Bull.
Thanks for this piece of sanity:
FWIW anyone that thinks that you can go in to another career field and make 100K+ and really 130K+ in five years is nuts. Do not compare yourself to a Doctor, Lawyer, or and Executive. Those guys have paid their dues too.
