I worked for Atlantic Coast Airlines/Indy Air and loved it. Great crews and good times. However back in the '99 and '00 there was a lot of movement and that made everyone happy. Since then, I have worked for 2 long haul freight carriers and that was not as much fun and I was a way from home a lot and wasn't happy. Yes I was flying the 747-400 my dream plane but hated life. Now I am at Cathay and am very happy there and I honestly must say I love my job, I am home all the time and get to fly a heavy. My best advise is finding happiness in your current situation is a lot easier than finding a better job. However if you cant afford to feed your family or even your self its very tough, I know I was a new hire turbo-prop FO twice. Being poor just ain't no fun.
