You have to realize most of the happy pilots are not on this website. My advice is to try and separate the facts from the romance when reading what people have to say at any rumor-based website. My first exposure to airline flying was largely through APC around 4 years ago, and on the basis of that I decided not to enter the airline industry with many of my friends. I credit APC for both encouraging me to fly and discouraging me from entering the industry in several areas that were destined to become difficult. For example, many regionals have furloughed their pilots, the same ones I was friends with who decided to go there. Many of them are well on their way to being tired of this industry now, if they are still in it at all, while I can honestly say that I still enjoy it. I was also interested in bush flying which after hearing what pilots had to say about it decided it was not for me. I never entered either industry, rather I found many other areas of commercial aviation to keep me busy such as flight instructing, charter, design engineering, flight test engineering, and skydiver flying.
