Amen to that Rick. Been at SkyWest for 4 years myself. I enjoy it, but no as much as I did a couple years ago. About 10% of the captains I fly with are actively pursuing a way out. In fact I'm on a 4 day with a check airman and sim instructor that I think has it made, and he will be quiting pretty soon.

If you have $100k in student loans you have no options. IF I were to do it all over again, I'd do it exactly how Rick stated above. The problem is, there is not a person more blind than an aviation student.
