But that's not the point.
What is the point is that you have excessively badmouthed an industry that treated you as equitably as it treated everyone else. You chose to leave. You weren't asked to leave. You and only you are responsible for that decision and its outcome.
Aspiring pilots come here for guidance. They don't come here to be indoctrinated into the ranks of the naysayers, doom-and-gloomers, and those with failed careers. You are the minority. Your opinion is a minority opinion. It has relevance but it is not the only voice in the house. Unfortunately, you have tried your best to make it so.
Check the charts for yourself. $52,000 less taxes isn't that much money. I don't have to look I know how my ex-coworkers are doing but for your benefit I did. Meth addicts in manual labor construction can earn 38K so long as they manage to show up at the job site most of the time. Had I stayed after 8 years my pay would be 52K. In my state public assistance is available for a family of four that earns less than 53K. You are probably correct about my equitable treatment but it is still far from adequate.
