I think the material has too much slant towards being negative. Lets face it, many other careers have similar perils. People have to make informed decisions, but after reading this page, I don't see why anyone would enter the profession. And I believe that is probably not being fair to the profession.
If you think the site is too far slanted to the negative, then feel free to post more positives and I'll be happy to include them. I'm not trying to "scare" anyone. In fact, on the front page of the site I tell people to pursue their dreams, no matter what anyone else tells them to do.
Further, if you think many other professionals face the perils that our profession has experienced, is currently experiencing, and is lining up to experience in the future, taking into consideration the tremendous financial and personal sacrifices necessary to become a professional airline pilot, I couldn't disagree more.
