Yeah I love my job when I actually fly.
Of the 376 hours I was gone last month I flew 50 myself. Of the 50 that were my leg, actual hand flying was problay a total of 6 hours, figuring 10 min's a flight at 35 flights.

I was with my wife 3 hours a night for the nights home since she works late.

I spent 91 unproductive hours in a hotel by my self with no compensation.

I think the point is, flying for a regional compared to other jobs blows. (note, no sugar coating). We should never let our love for flying be part of our compensation package.

And yes I am working on another carreer.
