I love my job....it's crapshoot as to what kind of captain you get dealt with on a trip, but I would take this career over anything I've ever done.

I've worked sales on commission, managed convenience stores, worked IT in an office, administrative work, and all sorts of customer service. I say....F that.

Nothing is as cool as the dynamics of an ever changing work environment as the airlines. Every day is something new. The aircraft has daily challenges, so do all the people working around you. In the end, I would not trade any of it for the crap I used to deal with in an office. Here, I am empowered and the choices I make have an effect on a successful outcome. There (in the office), I was another peon cog in hive of mediocrity.
