I have not posted here in a while but I just had to since I am really confused. Do pilots really like flying ALL THAT MUCH? or are they in denial and now that they pay QOL is so bad they have come up with some excuse why they are not moving on from this career. Rather than admit that they made the wrong decission by becoming a pilot they preffer to defend their possition by any means necessary. I'd rather fly than be at home with my family... Seriously, is flying that much fun after you have been doing it for a while? I mean driving a car for the first month was fun but then it got boring. How much is it to sit in a aluminum can for hours at end while staring at an empty sky? Spare me the typical speech "sunrise from a cockpit is better than sitting in front of a cubicle" I'd rather sleep through the sunset and get up at reasonable hour to go my cubicle and be home 8 hours later with my wife. Is flying with some stranger sitting right next to you that much more satisfying than spending time at home with a family? Oh, and may I mention that at the end of that exciting 4 day you come home to unpaid bills and realization that your neighbor working construction makes more than you do? Is flying really that much fun?
