Wprop, I have a feeling that you are pretty young. Lots of pilots like to whine. Even after they tell you not to do it, no body seem to be quiting their flying job. If they are leaving the airlines then I would be a little concern. If flying is really something you want to do, and you are young, I would say give it a try. If it doesn't work out, at least you can say that you've been there and done that and try something else. Otherwiese you will always wonder what if... Like someone else mentioned, it's a gamble. Good luck.
