"Dude, you are certainly proving one thing................an airline career is not for you!"
Skyhigh has told me working for Southwest was not a worthy job due to his personal situation with five kids, living in a little central Washington town, and wanting to be home every night. These are all strikes against a happy piloting career. If you can't deal with the pilot lifestyle, as some can't, and Skyhigh couldn't, it's best to go another route.
