Bitter pill indeed. Wouldn't a 70K Regional job as a captain be better than the Costco deal, Or an Instructor slot at Flight Safety? Finally your posts got me thinking why we as pilots get so bitter? I have my ideas as to why (4day trips, weekends, holidays, commuting etc.) but will save it for another day. I have often considered leaving it all together myself, but if I did I would go the self employed route. And I know that would mean being married to the business just like aviation.
