If I have to work two jobs to continue flying, so be it. If I have to wear a stupid hat, I'm OK. The second reason I signed on was to fly with some professionals. Help me believe that I made the right decision.
That's why this industry will never get anywhere because you of your mentality. I don't know about you but it's mostly about the money for me. Sure all of us have a deep love for aviation, there is a reason why we look up to see a passing airplane when a normal person wouldn't even know it was up there. However, the day that a nice view from 37000 cuts into my QOL or my well being as a person is the day that I'll quit flying. No matter how much love and passion we have for this job there is no way we should be sacrificing so much for little in return.
